Swimming story

In the early morning of July 4, 1952, there was a thick fog on the coast of California. A 43 year old woman prepares to swim from the Pacific to the coast of California on the island of 21 km west of the coast. Her name is Florence Chadwick.

That morning, the fog was so heavy that the water was so cold that she could hardly see the escort of his boat. In the past hour, hour and hour, thousands of people watched it on TV. Several times, the shark approached her and was scared away by a shot.

15 hours later, she was tired and cold. She knew she could no longer swim, so she was asked to take her aboard. Her mother and coach are on another ship. They told her that the coast was near and told her not to give up. But on the coast of California, she could see nothing but thick fog.

People pulled her on the boat, only half a mile away from the coast of California. Later, she said, it was not fatigue or cold that stopped her halfway, but because she could not see the target in the thick fog. Miss Chadwick only had this time in her life.

Zhao Rilei commented: this story is about the goal to see, enough to become an effective goal, will be the motivation to help people get what they want results.

When managers set goals with their subordinates, they often make a mistake. They believe that the higher the target is, the better the goal is, even if their employees only finish 80%, they can exceed their expectations. In fact, this kind of thinking is problematic. Managers who hold this kind of thinking depend too much on their goals and think that as long as the goal is formulated, employees will achieve it.

In fact, setting goals is one thing. Achieving goals is another matter. Setting goals is clear about what to do, and achieving goals is clear about how to do them. Rather than putting pressure on employees with a high goal, it is better to develop an appropriate goal and help employees formulate action plans, explore obstacles together and eliminate them to help employees form motivation.

In addition, the goal is not the only incentive means. Only when the goal is matched with the incentive mechanism will a more effective power mechanism be formed. Therefore, apart from focusing on goals, managers should also focus on supporting incentives.

Finally, the right goal is the goal that employees can jump to achieve. When the employees can achieve their goals after hard work, the goal will be attractive to their employees. Otherwise, the staff would rather not do it, and they would not have done much to achieve it.

What is target management?

The concept of "target management" was first put forward by management expert Peter Peter in 1954 in his famous book management practice. After that, he put forward the idea of "goal management and self control" in 1954. Drucker Drucker believes that instead of having a job, there is a goal. Instead, it is the goal that determines the work of everyone. Therefore, the mission and task of an enterprise must be transformed into a goal. If there is no goal in one field, the work in this field will be ignored. Therefore, managers should manage the subordinates through objectives. When the top management of the organization determines the organizational goals, it must decompose them effectively and transform them into sub goals of various departments and individuals. Managers should conduct examination, evaluation, rewards and punishments for subordinates according to the completion of sub goals. {page_break}

Management by objectives is a good way to turn managers' work into a passive way. The implementation of management by objectives is not only conducive to employees to work more clearly and efficiently, but also sets targets and assessment criteria for future performance appraisal, so that the examination is more scientific and standardized, and ensures the openness, fairness and justice of the assessment. After all, you can't assess employees without goals.
