For example, I know if I complete my training, I should win my AG. But my goal is completing the training and enjoying the journey rather than focusing on the result. <br /><br />If the entire organization attending the training session subscribed to an attitude of "If you're not first, you're last," you'll have one successful person and a lot of people that feel like failures. That's not good for morale or productivity. <br /><br />Better to set goals against yourself and challenge your previous best. You'll grow consistently and the focus becomes making yourself better rather than focusing on the outcome.Sam Horowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482572297293228184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147647547021587536.post-23428141467509810662009-04-26T23:16:00.000-05:002009-04-26T23:16:00.000-05:00I have more "complete it" goals than be No. 1 goal...I have more "complete it" goals than be No. 1 goals. Even in business, I want to complete a sale or complete a sign up; even complete a conversation. <br /><br />You make a good call on this. What happens when those people who put being No. 1 in front of them as a goal and then don't make it? What do they go through (emotionally) then or strive for then? <br /><br />No, I'd rather complete something, feel that rush of success and move on to the next goal. I can look back on those accomplishments better than I could look on the title of No. 1foodie4accesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330907602345940970noreply@blogger.com
