“𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐛”

Picture this: You've dedicated yourself to achieving a work goal, putting in the hard yards to bring it to fruition. However, just as you reach the finish line, the goalposts shift. The frustration sets in, leading you to question your commitment to the organisation. It's a classic case of goal conflict.

Goal conflicts can create significant friction within a business, straining relationships between leaders and employees. However, goals remain integral to a thriving workplace. Leaders must craft purposeful experiences that align everyone on a collective journey.

The solution lies in simplicity. Set one or two clear goals, preserving their significance. Too many goals can dilute their importance. Engage your team by asking for their input on achieving these goals. Encourage a shared understanding of individual roles in achieving the company's objectives – a concept often referred to as maintaining a clear "line of sight."

To ensure everyone is on the same page, pose the question: "What do you think you need to do to contribute to the company's goal?" This approach eradicates the "it's not my job" mindset and fosters a collective understanding of how each role propels the business toward success.

Remember, clarity breeds cooperation, and cooperation leads to achievement.

In the pursuit of our goals, let's redefine success beyond the boundaries of traditional achievement. Lifelong learning, often overlooked as a goal, is a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth.

📚 The journey of constant exploration, whether through acquiring new skills, understanding diverse perspectives, or diving into uncharted territories, transforms our goals into a dynamic and evolving narrative.

🌱 Imagine setting a goal not just for a specific milestone but for the sheer joy of learning, for the fulfillment found in the pursuit of knowledge. Lifelong learning isn't a destination; it's a continuous, goal-driven expedition.

💡 As we set our sights on new horizons, let's infuse our goals with the spirit of curiosity and the commitment to ongoing education. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆? Share your experiences and inspire others on the path of perpetual growth!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗮 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁: 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀

Wondering what is the “Cobra effect"? Let's unravel this historical anecdote from British colonial India—a tale with profound lessons for today's business landscape.

During an era when venomous cobras posed a threat to public safety, the British administration initiated an ingenious solution: a bounty on dead snakes. Initially, this measure appeared effective as the cobra population dwindled. However, the locals, ever resourceful, found a loophole. Rather than risking their lives capturing wild snakes, they began breeding them to claim the bounty. This method proved easier, safer, and allowed them to produce snakes in much larger numbers.

The unforeseen twist occurred when the British, realising the manipulation, decided to terminate the bounty program. To curb the breeders, they cracked down on the snake breeding operations. Alas, this move backfired. The captive snakes, no longer valuable, were released into the wild, resulting in a catastrophic surge in the cobra population.

Human nature, it seems, instinctively responds to measures and rewards. This historical tale underscores a critical lesson for today's businesses: the importance of aligning metrics with desired behaviours. Merely setting performance metrics isn't enough; they must incentivise the right outcomes and behaviours.

In the corporate landscape, the Cobra Effect serves as a stark reminder. It urges us to carefully design goals and metrics that not only drive results but also foster ethical and sustainable practices. Unintended consequences can arise from poorly thought-out metrics, leading to undesirable outcomes.

Ensure that the measures used to evaluate performance are not just quantitative but are aligned with the ethical and strategic compass of the organization. By setting goals and metrics that truly incentivize positive outcomes, businesses can avoid the pitfalls of the Cobra Effect and steer their course toward sustained success. 🚀

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿?✍️

Did you know the average person has nearly 150 tasks on their to-do lists?

A sure recipe for failure.

And overloading our lists creates a continual hum of worry in our head, just like that song that becomes stuck in your head.

It is only when you play the song entirely or sing it to the end do you achieve closure. The same occurs with our lists. When we fail to finish business, it gets carried forward into present work, interfering with our future actions. Anxiety caused by unfinished business is called 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘡𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘬 𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 - named after the researcher who first investigated this phenomenon, Bluma Zeigarnik.

Zeigarnik found that the human mind does not like it when things aren't conclusive, which can lead to unhelpful self-criticism. These lists help us remember the many things we must tackle. But, at the same time, induce unhealthy, disarming anxiety, and thoughts of ‘𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ’.

So how do you overcome the brain churn? Here is some sage advice from Warren Buffet:

⭕ Circle your 5 highest priorities; then focus on those 5 while ‘avoiding at all costs’ doing anything on the remaining list.

This method allowed Buffet to improve productivity and focus. And my last piece of guidance it to ensure each has an underlying plan to go with it!

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 '𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘀’

In all reality, very few of us are effective goal-setters. We often find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of modern life, where we feel the constant pressure to keep up with the Joneses – our friends, family, and peers, all seemingly achieving one milestone after another. But in this quest to keep pace, we may lose sight of our own unique journey and the importance of setting goals that truly align with our values.

Failing to set these goals and then neglecting to acknowledge your achievements could well be putting your mental health and overall well-being at risk. It's easy to get caught in the comparison trap and feel that your progress isn't measuring up to someone else's. But here's the real secret: your path and your progress are entirely your own, and it's crucial to remember that.

So, ask yourself, how often do you take a moment to praise your own progress, regardless of how small it may seem? It's essential to break free from the cycle of comparison and start appreciating the unique steps you've taken on your own journey. Celebrate your achievements, and don't be too hard on yourself for not keeping up with someone else's standards or pace.
Take a moment each day to tell yourself, "Hey, I did a great job today," or "I'm proud of what I have accomplished!" This positive reinforcement will not only boost your self-esteem but also provide the motivation you need to continue moving forward in your own direction. Remember, life isn't a race against the Joneses; it's a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Smart goals, which stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, are a well-known framework for setting and achieving goals in personal and professional realms. However, Smart goals are not effective, often losing their effectiveness like a compass when it nears a magnet.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆:

1️⃣ 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Imagine entering a maze with a blurry map. If the S in Smart goals isn't well-defined, your goals may lack clarity, leading to confusion and frustration.
2️⃣ 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀: Focusing solely on quantifiable metrics (the M) can be like obsessing over the numbers on your compass, sometimes causing you to overlook other important aspects of your journey.
3️⃣ 𝗨𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Like trying to navigate an impossible maze, setting overly ambitious or unrealistic goals (the A) can lead to disappointment and demotivation.
4️⃣ 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: If your goals aren't aligned with your personal or organizational objectives and values, it's like having a compass that points in a completely different direction – not very motivating or beneficial.
5️⃣ 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Imagine wandering aimlessly in the maze with no concept of time. Failing to adhere to the T (Time-bound) component can result in procrastination and ineffective goal pursuit.
6️⃣ Lastly, 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Because sometimes, you need to be flexible in your approach. The rigid structure of Smart goals might not always be suitable for creative or innovative projects that require adaptability.

Like, how some explorers might opt for a GPS over a traditional compass, 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 can offer enhanced strategies and a greater chance of achievement. Stay tuned for more insights on Effective Goals in my next upcoming post.

Goal setting is not an over-the-counter treatment for building motivation. After all, if it were, it would be sold at retail. So, don't treat goal-setting like such but like a doctor prescribed medication, carefully dosed and closely supervised.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗸; 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Achieving goals is easier with help. First, you have to identify your strengths, weaknesses, and the resources available to you. Then you have to plan your course of action. Because if you are not careful, you can set unreachable goals.

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆. 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀.

I've worked with many unhappy people who were wasting time and energy trying to achieve goals that had no meaning. If you want to reach your highest potential, you need to fulfil the deepest desires of your heart and soul - that's when your work becomes most enjoyable.

𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Many try to simplify a complicated process. But, unfortunately, poorly set goals lead to greater failures. Like a prescription medication, you want to do it right, or you'll just end up wasting time.

The most effective goal setting process will be one that is customized to your individual needs. Then, once your dose is correct, a more productive and profitable future will follow.

So for your goals - 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲? Is there a 'Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery' warning?" 🤣

In this fifth instalment of our series on achieving business goals with proven strategies, we dive into the art of rewarding progress. While celebrating achievements is crucial, knowing when to reward yourself is the real secret to success.

#𝟱 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

Our brains thrive on rewards, with dopamine driving our motivation. Achieving goals triggers a delightful dopamine release, reinforcing positive behaviours. But, here's the twist: too many rewards can dull the dopamine response and hinder your drive.

Mastering the Art of Timing - imagine wanting to boost your business productivity. At first, rewarding each task completion with a treat seems like a surefire motivator. Yet, over time, the magic fades as rewards become expected.

Instead, embrace Random Intermittent Reinforcement. The key lies in unpredictability. Reward yourself occasionally, introducing an element of surprise. Like a casino's allure, this approach keeps motivation high, prevents fixation on rewards, and focuses your energy on the task. It's the balance that keeps your motivation robust.

Welcome to the fourth part of our epic series on conquering business goals with proven strategies! It's time to supercharge your motivation when facing the fiercest challenges. No goal is too audacious, and no hurdle too high.

It's a universal truth that you'll encounter pockets of resistance and challenging moments as you pursue your business goals. However, if you can use a defined period, best practice is 12 weeks. Then, there is enough space for progress while remaining short enough to stay sustainable.

But on those challenging days, you will need more motivation; this is where visualisation exercises draw upon positive and negative emotions to boost your motivation.
For example, let's say your goal is to increase your sales revenue. On a tough day, visualise the benefits of your success, such as increased financial stability, recognition, or personal satisfaction. Visualise what achieving your goal means to you and your business.

Conversely, draw motivation from what you're seeking to avoid. In this scenario, you might envision the consequences of not reaching your sales targets, such as missed opportunities, financial setbacks, or professional stagnation. Whatever tactic you choose, the carrot (positive visualisation) or the stick (negative visualisation), ensure they are in your motivation toolkit. They can help you stay on course and regain focus during challenging times.

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁?

In this third piece of our LinkedIn series on achieving business goals through proven scientific methods, we delve into a somewhat counterintuitive way of keeping your goals to yourself. While it might seem natural to share your aspirations with others, doing so can often have the opposite effect of what you intend.

#𝟯 - 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳

You may have noticed that your motivation seems to wane over time when you've enthusiastically shared your business goals or personal ambitions with friends, family, or even on social media. There is science behind this phenomenon. When we announce our goals, we receive positive feedback from others. This positive reinforcement activates specific reward and motivation systems in our brains. However, this motivation quickly dissipates, which can diminish the likelihood of us actually achieving the goal.

In other words, sharing your goal gives you a sense of accomplishment that mimics the feeling of achieving the goal itself. This can lead to complacency and decrease your motivation to work toward it.

By keeping your goals to yourself, you maintain that intrinsic motivation and sense of purpose. You're not seeking external validation or praise, which can undermine your internal drive to achieve. Instead, you're driven by a genuine desire to make progress and reach your goals, free from the distraction of others' opinions or judgment.

The next piece in this series will explore effective strategies to stay motivated when facing challenges. You'll inevitably encounter obstacles while working towards your business goals, so join us as we continue our journey to make your goals achievable.

Imagine your professional journey as a challenging ascent up a steep mountain. You'll need a single, ambitious goal as your guiding star to reach the summit. It's similar to mountaineers focusing all their energy and attention on conquering one majestic peak rather than attempting several simultaneously.

For instance, if you want to improve your sales performance, don't be content with merely raising your numbers a notch. Instead, set your sights on a loftier peak. Think of it as choosing to ascend a challenging, towering summit in your business endeavours. While not unrealistic, this ambitious goal should be enough to make you stretch and grow, much like a mountaineer pushing their limits and stepping out of their comfort zone.

Selecting one such challenging business goal is akin to planting your flag on that distant summit, marking the starting point for substantial growth. Stay tuned for the next piece in this series, where we'll delve into the importance of building your plan around actions, just like an expert climber prepares their gear for the arduous journey ahead. After all, achieving your goals is more than reaching the summit; it's about embracing the exhilarating journey. '

Australia must vote this weekend on the voice referendum, and while I don't want to get into the debate either way, there are some valuable lessons we can extract for leaders in the business world. 🗳️

At its core, the voice referendum is about inclusivity, engagement, and ensuring that diverse perspectives are heard and respected. These principles hold immense significance for business leaders as well. 🌐💼

In the corporate realm, embracing the "voice" means creating an environment where every team member’s insight and opinion are valued. It's about aligning actions with a shared vision, fostering a sense of ownership, and building a culture of trust and transparency. 🤝

Just as in the referendum, successful leaders understand that collaboration and adaptability are key. A team that feels heard is more motivated, and adaptability allows businesses to thrive in ever-changing landscapes. 🚀

So, while we may be casting our votes this weekend, let's also reflect on how we can integrate these "voice" principles into our leadership styles, creating more inclusive, engaged, and successful organizations. 💪
