S.M.A.R.T GoAL SeTTiNG

 "Goal" is very important word of our life. Knowingly or unknowingly we sets goals    

 everyday, it may be small like " i have to complete my assignment till Saturday(so i can enjoy Sunday)" or big like "i want placement  in good firm" and list goes on, and we start working hard to achieve these goals.Goal setting is a powerful way of motivating people, and of motivating yourself.
In class of professor Dr.Mandi i learned about SMART goals, goal achievement and many more interesting and motivating things which i would like to share with all.

Activity - Again building a tower, but this time we told to set target of how many blocks(GOAL SETTING), taking consideration of last tower build(GOAL HISTORY).
Ambition- goal setting > goal history.
Learning- for achieving new goals we have to look in our past and adding few learning and more improvement we can increase our performance.
        goal setting * goal achievement= performance
  

  SMART Goals

                     
Meant to create a SMART goal is to win half the battle, and lose not get made. You have to win the other half of the plan how you will achieve this goal.





Setting goal is not difficult task, but effective execution is difficult but not impossible. only thing is that, that we have to do in smarter way. Goal setting and goal achievement should be in spiral manner(spiral is in form of fibonacci series i.e 1,1,2,3,5,8..... ), i.e whatever we do should be better than previous one.

Pygmalion Effect- making useless person, use full.

Your expectations of people and their expectations of themselves are the key factors in how well people perform at work, Known as the Pygmalion effect. The power of expectations cannot be overestimated. These are the fundamental principles you can apply to performance expectations and potential performance improvement at work.

Or in simple way, the phenomenon in which the greater the expectation placed upon people, the better they perform.

The corollary of the Pygmalion effect is the golem effect, in which low expectations lead to a decrease in performance.

Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson (1968) report and discuss the Pygmalion effect in the classroom at length.In their study, they showed that if teachers were led to expect enhanced performance from some children, then the children did indeed show that enhancement.

  SMART GOAL + PYGMALION EFFECT = SUCCESS.
