What's at stake for you? It's mid-year, and that means it's time for mid-year check-ins and goals. Many of my clients have wanted insights into making their goals more impactful or more connected to where they're going. A comment I hear is "I feel like these are just mostly 'check the box' exercises." In reality, they could be. But what if you wanted them to be more? Let's take an example I heard recently, "Manage team." Yes, that was the complete goal accepted at the beginning of the year. Let's forget that it's not a SMART goal and take it at face value. My question is, what's at stake for you? What happens if you don't achieve this? What happens if you do? Will you fight for this goal? As you contemplate your mid-year goals, think about what's at stake. Or check the box. Either way, it's up to you. #GoalSetting #MidYearReview #ProfessionalDevelopment

On the flip side, some team members take their responsibilities for granted, impacting their performance management. If we dig deeper into this problem, we often find that what's missing is setting clear goals for the team. Setting goals gives everyone a clear direction and focus to perform better. To make it simple, goals should be SMART: 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜: Clearly state what needs to be done. 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞: Set ways to track progress. 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞: Make sure the goals are realistic. 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭: Connect goals to the bigger picture. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞-𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: Have deadlines to create a sense of urgency. By setting SMART goals, individuals and teams can navigate performance challenges with confidence. Goals act as a roadmap, guiding us towards success while promoting accountability and a culture of excellence. Let's empower ourselves and our teams with the magic of goal setting, unlocking potential, improving performance, and reaching new heights of success. 🌟🎯 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 #𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 #𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 #𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

Busy work kills tasks. Deep work creates a legacy. No great work ever was done in 30-minute breaks between meetings. You need time and space to: - Think. - Do research. - Consider alternatives. - Review it again and get more feedback. - Make sure that it is not another half-baked MVP. - Often, it has to be "perfect enough," not "good enough." Spending at least a couple of hours a day "deep working" will pay great dividends in your overall career and business development. I share some of my favorite "getting into deep work" practices.

X or Y - Which mindset shapes your year-end conversations? 🚀 No, we’re not talking about chromosomes or mathematical equations - don’t worry!😂 October - the time for performance reviews! We all ask ourselves the same questions: Have we achieved our goals? What's on the agenda for the coming year? But the crucial difference lies in HOW we conduct these discussions: According to Theory X or Theory Y? 💼 In the X world, everything runs according to plan: smart goals are defined at the beginning of the year, reviewed in between and the final meeting is held at the end of the year. Everything is neat and tidy, once a year, ticked off - and on we go. But honestly - is this really still up to date? ❌ 🚀 In the Y world, things are different: performance reviews are not a rigid annual ritual, but part of a dynamic, ongoing process. Regular feedback, dynamic adjustments of targets and, above all, looking ahead. The end of the year is not the end, but a springboard for what is to come. What has brought us forward? What are we leaving behind (by choice)? And that is exactly the point: Do we really want to wait until the year is over to initiate change? This was a rhetorical question because NO WAY!🙅♀️ Our teams and organizations are vibrant and deserve to be continuously supported and challenged. I always prefer the Y world, because managing the status quo is not enough for me - as you know, I want to RevoltHR✊ So it’s my job to be the driving force that makes real change possible. Let's work with our teams throughout the year, continuously develop their potential and motivate them to take more personal responsibility. In this way, we will create a culture in which development, innovation and motivation are not just words, but are lived. Change your mindset and see performance reviews not as a duty, but as an opportunity! 💥 #HRRevolution #AgileLeadership #ContinuousImprovement Foto: Alexander Müller
