Results, how to get them to be good while being oriented
Trying to achieve the desired results is very positive, it is what moves us and helps us achieve the goals we have set for ourselves. At the same time, if you are permanently obsessed with results, you won't be able to enjoy the journey, and you will probably have a hard time getting a good focus on day-to-day tasks.
In today's article we are going to talk about achieving good results by being oriented towards them, and about what we can do to achieve our goals, both for you and for your team. Of course, effort and perseverance will also be necessary…
Get better results by setting better goals
Both in the company and in personal life, the way to succeed, to achieve our goals, is to be oriented / or to results. In other words, “every decision” we make cannot lose sight of the final results we pursue. It's easier starting from the end: first be clear about the results you want to achieve when planning your goals.
Furthermore, the goals should be SMART:
- Specific - SpecificMeasurable - MeasurableAchievable - RealizableRealistic - RealisticTime bound - Time limited
Focus your mind with good focus
It is common for our minds to wander as we work, and this constitutes one of our greatest enemies in achieving the desired results. It is our emotions that prevent us from the focus required to achieve our goals, so we must stop them while we are working.
We need to be attentive to what goes through our minds, and this will be much easier if there is a good balance in all facets of our lives. Also, if your mind is oriented to the present moment, you will get the necessary focus for optimal time management, which is essential to obtain the best results.
Get the best results for your team
It is part of good leadership to ensure that your entire team gets the best possible results. This will require a series of measures that favor the optimal performance of each team member. These are some of the measures to consider:
- You must provide each team member with the training and information necessary to achieve the required results, taking into account their particular and group needs. Periodic reviews of their compliance are necessary, giving feedback so that each team member can improve their focus and achieve their goals. We also need to promote teamwork and effective and continuous communication with each and all of them, seeking continuous improvement of results. As we saw in my article "How to motivate your staff", you must make very clear what is expected of each team member, clearly communicating their objectives and motivating them at all times.It is one of your functions to create a development plan together with your superiors / Board of Directors, in which your team can fix their focus,and you must redo or adapt it according to the circumstances.
To achieve the set objectives, it is necessary to be oriented to the desired results, without losing sight of the approach that favors optimal time management. In addition, with respect to your team you need to provide them with the plan, the information and the necessary tools so that they obtain the optimal results through good leadership.
