Enhancing Goal Commitment through Communication May 5, 2010
Posted by thelearningkey in Communication.trackback
In order to enhance goal commitment from employees, remember: Goal setting systems are effective when the manager is able to develop trust, engagement, and participation.
To do this, ask yourself:
- Am I ensuring that all project members are participating in the goal-setting process?
- When team members are involved, goals are often set at a higher level and many more ideas are generated.
- Did I ensure that everyone understood the goals in the same way?
- Am I consistently rewarding my team by verbally recognizing their achievements and contributions?
