Achieving 65% of the impossible is better than 100% of the ordinary. We should always challenge our potential and the potential of those around us. Thanks for sharing.

It's not just about setting amazing goals, there needs to be a whole organizational culture in place to support them. Does anyone know if failure to achieve your goals means no bonus? I would hope not - what if the "how" you went about achieving the goal was amazing, even if the "what" you achieved wasn't DJ I’m in agreement with Jonas here.

Just installing such instruments doesnt do the trick. you have to have the culture, too!

One needs to learn about goal setting from the Olympic gold medalist rower- Sir Mathew Pinsent. At the IMD OWP 2010 Pinsent will share his experience from four Olympic campaigns, which resulted in four gold medals. He will highlight the importance of goal setting, communication, trust and ultimately the courage it takes to win in the toughest of conditions.
