In this episode, Karen Kirton explores how goal setting is essential for ensuring employees understand expectations, stay motivated, and achieve strong performance—especially in evolving workplace models like remote and hybrid work. She highlights why clarity and structure in goal setting lead to better engagement and productivity.

In today’s episode, you will learn about:

• The five key principles of effective goal setting, based on research by Locke and Latham: commitment, clarity, challenge, complexity, and feedback.
• How to create motivating goals that empower employees to take ownership of their work.
• Why specific and measurable goals are more effective than vague expectations.
• The importance of balancing challenge and attainability to drive performance without overwhelming employees.
• How regular feedback and progress reviews help employees stay on track and remain engaged throughout the year.
• Why performance reviews should be ongoing rather than an annual process to ensure continuous improvement and motivation.

This episode provides a practical framework for business leaders looking to set clear, motivating goals that drive success for both employees and the organization.
