SETTING GOALS

Why Do you Need to Set a Goal

All company have their own goals and objective, either to gain more profit, to expand their business and etc.

As company grow, our career path also need to grow. We do not want to hold the same position and salary all the time.

We may need to plan our personal advancement say 5 years or 10 years from now.

Type Of Goals

Goals can be divided into two I.e short terms and long terms.

However good Goals is a SMART Goals SMART Goals should be tied with

company goals and objective S – Specific M – measurable A- Achievable R- Realistic T – Timely

HOW DOES KPI LINK TO YOUR PERFORMANCE

There is no such thing of work hard without producing “Result”

Result must be measured Once it is measurable, it will become

performance Index You have to focus on your core function which

will be key result area This helps result to be monitored

Why need to monitor our result

To ensure we are in a right track – in line with the company goals and direction

We are able to sharpen our edge and a head of our competitor

To identify your weaknesses which need for immediate training

To capitalized your performance for career advancement

To evaluate ROI against your performance

What do you mean by ROI – Return Of Investment ?

All kind of job/ function involve investment such as office equipment, salary, work station and etc.

An investment definitely expecting return

such as effectiveness of services, cost improvement and ect

HOW DOES YOUR FUNCTION LINK TO ROIROI ?

1. Effectiveness – Meeting the departmental or organizational requirement.

2. Customer satisfaction – Internal or customer satisfaction on your services

3. Accuracy, timely, quality of your services

4. Cost saving or within the budget.

5. Achieve result

To evaluate the ROI, all key area will be measured either through percentage of achievement and result, customer feedback and your performance.

If your ROI is positive, you are contributing towards organization ROI. You are also adding value to your function.

What happen if your ROI is negative and whatever your functions is does not contribute towards company profit. ?

Lets discuss..

How do such KPI being measured ?

Establish your goal against the company Mission

Align your core functions and set your KPI using S.M.A.R.T approach.

S – Specific M – Measurable A – Achievable R – Realistic T - Timely

Specific

Goals must be specific and should not be general.

Being a specific you know your direction clearly where are you heading or what are you intend to be specifically

E.g I want to be an officer in 5 years time To reduce the typing error To improve the preparing report skills

Measurable

Goals should be measurable where you can evaluate the performance or the result

E.g To increase the production volume from 90% to 100%

To complete daily assignment To reduce the timing of preparing monthly

report from 5 days to 3 days

Achievable

Do not set a goals where it is impossible to achieve.

E.g To be a Manager in one year time. To reduce the transport cost from 10k per

month to 8.5k per month

Realistic

Goals must be something realistic and not pluck the figure from sky

E.g To reduce the transportation cost from 10k per month to 8.5k per month

To increase the Bonus from 1month to 5 months by next year

Timely

Good Goals must have a time frame when to achieve.

The time frame should also realistic and achievable

E.g To reduce the stationery cost from 12k per month to 10k per month by 3rd Qr 2003.

Tie Your goals with your performance

Set a yearly goals in order to tie it with your performance.

Anyone can hold a meeting. Forming a work group and conducting a productive meeting, however, is a greater challenge. This article has tips for meetings that get results.

1.Determine the outcome or objective of the meeting.

Having a clear purpose goes a long way to ensuring a successful outcome. Ask yourself and/or the participants questions like:

a.What would be the most valuable thing we could accomplish with our time? b.What is the purpose of the meeting? c.How does this meeting contribute to the organizational goals and objectives?

2.Plan in advance.

Abraham Lincoln was notorious for planning and said that for every 1 hour spent planning, it would save 8 hours in implementation. Considering the project failure rates in organizations it would be hard to argue with him.

Determine the type of meeting (i.e., problem solving, brain storming, dissemination of information, etc.) and what format will support that purpose.

Assess what information or other preparation will be needed. How will you communicate the results to others not participating in the meeting, but who need to be apprised of the outcome?

The agendaA good agenda should cover the

following areas Overall purpose of the meeting Date Timings Place Objectives (allows people to prepare) Attendance Vital Responsibilities

3. Choose the participants.

Select those who have a reason to participate. Those attending should:

a.Have a thorough knowledge of the meeting subject-matter and be ready and able to make a valuable contribution. b.Be responsible for implementing decisions or bringing a project to the next stage; represent a group that will be affected by decisions made at the meeting.

Between four to seven people is generally ideal for any meeting, ten is tolerable and 12 is stretching the limit. Meetings tend to be more productive when the number of participants is low. In large group meetings, there is less opportunity for individuals to participate and consensus decision-making becomes extremely time consuming and frustrating.

4.Roles.

Determine what roles will be needed (i.e., someone to take notes, story board, present important information, etc.). The most critical role is the facilitator. This person is responsible to meet the meeting objective, keep it on track and tactfully ensure no one person dominates the meeting. Select a facilitator who will make sure the ground rules are followed and maintain a neutral stance.

5.Develop guidelines.

These are often created once and reused in subsequent meetings. It is helpful to list them on posters or flip charts that can be referred back to again and again. Some examples are:

a.No criticism b.Confidentiality c.No one will be interrupted while speaking d.Ideas won't be judged in order to encourage creativity e.Start and end on time f.Don't present a problem without being able to present a solution. g.It's ok to pass

We have found that a fun way to enforce guidelines is to take a piece of paper, crumple it up, and, if someone violates a guideline, throw it at them. It keeps the mood light while still sending a very important message

6.Use meeting openers.

These can be fun and getting the meeting off on the right foot. It is important that the expectation be set up front to only take one or two minutes in order to minimize time impact. Some examples are:

a.What would you like to get out of this meeting? b.Share something about you no one else in the room knows about. c.What has been the best part of your week? d.Where are you having success in you area right now?

7.Use visuals.

Most people can see what you are presenting better than they can hear it. Doing both will ensure your message gets across. Use flip charts, slides and white boards to set the agenda, brainstorm, or present ideas.

8.The parking lot.

It can be easy to get stuck on issues that might be important, but not directly tied to the objective of the meeting. Using a flip chart list the items as they come up. At the end of the meeting resolve what actions need to taken to deal with them.

11.Meeting closers.

Wrap up each meeting by summarizing what was accomplished. Here is a brief checklist:

a.Have tasks that were created during the meeting been assigned a "who will do what and by when?" b.Were the objectives of the meeting met? If not, is another meeting required? c.How effective was the meeting? What could we improve on for next time? d.What did you get out of the meeting? e.What issues (PARKING LOT) came up that we were unable to resolve? What actions steps should be taken?

Let conduct a meeting on improving customer relations

List down your agenda and determine of role and function.

Role play – conduct the actual meeting.

Discuss in a group and List down 3 common situation at your work place that created stress and how you manage it

10 minutes

      Cut out the coffee, hot chocolate, and soft drinks - Caffeine can cause anxiety and make things more stressful. So, you might want to limit your trips to Starbuck's when you are suffering from stress. Keep toys on your desk - My wife used to keep "Transformers" near the phone. Transformers were plastic robots that changed their shape depending on which way your turned them and moved their body parts. She played with them while she was on the phone. It gave her something physical to do and mental at the same time, and helped reduce anxiety.

STRESS FREE TIPSSTRESS FREE TIPS

         Write down your stressful situation - By putting your thoughts down on paper (or in the computer) you can transfer your emotions from your mind to something more tangible. After you're done with the writing you can crumble up the paper and throw it away, or light a match to it and let your troubles go up in smoke.

         Exercise - I have a "Thigh Master" that I use to exercise my upper body and my thighs when I've been hunched over a desk for too long. Getting away from the desk and exercising for just a couple minutes can reduced stress remarkably. If you can get away for a walk, that's even better. Think about pleasant thoughts and not about your problems -- that helps, also.

STRESS FREE TIPSSTRESS FREE TIPS

         Get some oxygen into your body by breathing deeply - Headache expert Dr. Jeffrey Finnegan in his book Life Beyond Headaches says that one of the main keys to a healthy body is getting oxygen, which we can't do if we're all slumped over and stressful. Take a few minutes and close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly. I like to tell myself that with each outgoing breath I am becoming calmer and less worried and stressed. If you can stop and breathe deeply for ten minutes a couple times a day, you can reduce your stress dramatically. "Breathing becomes short and shallow when we start stressing out," says Deborah Johnson, Ed.D, an assistant professor at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. "The quickest way to break this tension loop is to start drawing air deeply into your lungs, which allows oxygen to flow throughout the body. You should feel a difference almost immediately."-- from Soothe your stress spots, Fitness, November 1998

STRESS FREE TIPSSTRESS FREE TIPS

         Eat a sweet - When you're feeling really stressed, take a minute and eat a bite or two of candy (watch out for chocolate, which has caffeine in it). Researchers have found that stress levels go down when we consume sugars.  Make yourself at home - Personalize your workspace. Surround yourself with photographs of home, posters from favorite movies or plants and flowers. The familiar, homey-objects, help relax tensions.  Drink some orange juice - Scientists have discovered that vitamin C can reduce the production of stress hormones. Eat an orange, drink some juice, take a 200 mg. supplement, or eat other foods rich in vitamin C like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, grapefruit and cantaloupe.

STRESS FREE TIPSSTRESS FREE TIPS

         Sing a song - This tip does double duty, music and singing relaxes the body, AND by singing you breathe more deeply. Depending on your voice, however, you might create more stress from the people around you.

Watch a funny video - Laughter like singing gets more oxygen into our lungs, so watch something that gives you some belly laughs. Dr. Hj.Fadzilah Kamsah says the essence of humor is anticipation and payoff. Just like reducing stress.

Raju merupakan storekeeper dimana selepas penerimaan barangan direkodkan, Raju akan menghantarkan barangan tersebut ke lokasi yang disediakan untuk simpanan.Rashid suka menghabiskan masa agak lama untuk minum dan bersembang ketika rehat jam 10.00pagi sebab beliau jarang bersarapan pagi kerana bimbang lewat ke tempat kerja.Ini diburukkan lagi dengan sikap rashid yang suka bertangguh.
