45Goals in this section can be used with almost any
employee. Generally, these kinds of goals are not regular-
ly included in the goal-setting process unless some specif-
ic issue has arisen that warrants special attention. For
example, most employees don’t require an explicit goal to
encourage them to arrive at work on time, but employees
with a history of arriving late might benefit from setting
such a goal.Punctuality
