“Goal Setting”

Goals are the first step towards planning for the future, and play a fundamental role in the development of skills in various facets of life.

They are the target at which we aim our proverbial arrow. As defined by Latham & Locke Goals are โ€œthe object or aim of an action, for example, to attain a specific standard of proficiency, usually within a specified time limit.โ€

They are the level of competence that we wish to achieve and create a useful lens through which we assess our current performance.

ย According to Locke โ€œEvery personโ€™s life depends on the process of choosing goals to pursue; if you remain passive, you are not going to thrive as a human being.โ€ The importance of the goal-setting process should not go unappreciated.
