• Basic Rules. For Leaders, 70-80% of the evaluation
should be tied to objective SMART goals; and 20-30%
should be tied to organizational values and standards.
For employees, 70-80% of the performance evaluation
should be tied to values, standards, a nd job functions,
with the remaining 20-30% tied to departmental goals.
Each individual should not have more the 5-8 total
goals, with each goal category weighted between 10-
50% each.
• Goal vs. Tactic. Don’t get confused. A goal is the
strategic objective you seek to achieve. A tactic is the
action or strategy you plan to utilize to achieve the goal.
By setting goals in the right way we ensure that, when
followed, the map actually leads to the exact performance
outcome desired by the organization, no matter what
distractions may be encountered on that journey.
