Its my first blog,my first class of Principles of Organizational Management and a very good experience to learn and grasp things.The Prof came with certain things in his hands that left us thinking.He used these things to make us feel the live example to understand.
Second:
The students who stuck to their target.They have the feeling of meeting the same target no matter what hurdles they come across.
Third:
The students who increased the target.These are the managers who believe in growth in
tougher times.They always increase their goal limit.
So there are four questions that we need o answer at the time of goal setting:
- What is the potential?
- What target should be set?
- What the actual performance be?
- What can be achieved?
The potential is always at the higher level.Everyone is unlimited with the potential.
The target to be achieved will always be higher than our achieved goals.Achieved goals will give us the confidence to raise our expectations and challenge our potential.
The Tower Building Exercise:
The class started with the GOAL SETTING task.There were blocks to build a tower,the class was asked to estimate the number of blocks before the tower collapse.The class came up with different answers and the volunteer also came up with a guess according to his understanding and potential.
The tower building started and finally with lots of efforts and handwork the guy ended up with 18 blocks.Guess What????
The guy himself set the target to 10 blocks but end up with 18 blocks.So the student himself was not confident or was not aware of his full potential.
This task was further modified when the student was asked to build the same tower but this time blindfolded.Now the response of the students were recorded and they came up three different scenarios:
First:
The students lowered the target.They have a feeling of downgrading the target which should not be the case.As a manager you always have to AIM high not degrade.This will boost the confidence with the challenge in front.Second:
The students who stuck to their target.They have the feeling of meeting the same target no matter what hurdles they come across.
Third:
The students who increased the target.These are the managers who believe in growth in
tougher times.They always increase their goal limit.
So there are four questions that we need o answer at the time of goal setting:
- What is the potential?
- What target should be set?
- What the actual performance be?
- What can be achieved?
The potential is always at the higher level.Everyone is unlimited with the potential.
The target to be achieved will always be higher than our achieved goals.Achieved goals will give us the confidence to raise our expectations and challenge our potential.
We have to manage organizational resources to get the desired results.
