Papers-Thought Leadership Improving Outcomes Through Goal-Setting | Page 5

• 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, and 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.
