SMART goals debunked
Bri Williams
I'm still road tripping, so here's another episode of my Behaviour Bites series in the meantime.
|
In which I cover:
- SMART goals have been debunked...but the guy who coined the term wouldn't be surprised
- Netflix famously has a 2 word leave policy. Can you guess what it is?
- The key reason leadership training fails
- We're sailing, not paddling
- Changing our approach to change
Feel free to revisit prior episodes:
- Episode 1 on whether you should show effort, a botched attempt to upgrade me, overcoming reactance and the most bizarre leader behaviour I encountered, and
- Episode 2 on pricing psychology to encourage upgrades, why you shouldn't probe reasons for a decision, and the desire to keep moving.
- Episode 3 on where you should sit, why hotel check-out times are getting later, the effort vs reward equation and how a taxi driver almost made me throw up.
See you next Friday for episode 5!
