EP12-LQOTD-12-How to set goals as a leader?


Listen Later

As a startup manager we have to learn leadership on the fly. That is why we want to bring bitesize leadership education to you as a startup leader.

The Format "Leadership Question of the Day" is a short answer to a leadership question we received and will be published every morning ready for you to start the day.


Read along:

How do you set goals as a leader? 

I would...

if you just ask me. 

I mean, it's just the two of us. 

I would not set a goal. 

I would enable the team to set goals together 

so the team and you have the same goals. 

If you always put this measuring stick in front the 

the carrot 

called the carrot 

in front of other people.

Then you of course drive them into that direction 

and that's still okay. 

But if they develop the goals together 

with you and they own the goals.

It's way better than you just putting the goals. 

This is the leadership question of the day. 

See you tomorrow.
