DEVELOPING YOUR PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT / 29

Setting and attaining your personal

managerial goals

SET YOUR GOALS

Personalize your goals. You will be far more committed

to goals that you have set yourself, rather than those

that have been set for you by someone else.

GET SUPPORT

Develop a support group of people who will help you in

achieving your goals. Your support group should include

those with the resources you need to be successful.

REWARD YOURSELF

Reward yourself for small wins. When you achieve

incremental progress toward your goals, treat yourself to

a reward, such as a night out or some recreational activity.

SEE THE FUTURE
Develop a vision of what it will
be like when you achieve your
goals. Your vision of a desirable
future can be a powerful
motivating force.

BE SMART

Set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable,

Realistic, and Time-bound. You are much more likely to

achieve goals that are well defined and within your reach.
