2 most popular steps to set challenging goals for team members

1. Involve your team in setting them
Goals are clear, agreed levels of performance which need to be met or exceeded –for completing a job within a certain time reducing the frequency of errors or improving productivity by a set amount. If given a say in setting goals team members are often more motivated and more committed to those goals (in a sense, they’ve challenged themselves!) team members can also provide valuable information regarding:

• Work methods
• Problems and problems solutions
• Schedules

Remember, however that you’re the team leader. As such any final decisions regarding goals job, schedules, are yours.

2. Let team members know how they fit in   
Have a current written job description for each team member, describing in detail that person’s work responsibilities. Set goals for each team how his or her responsibilities contribute to the team’s –   and your organization’s-goals make sure the team member realizes that others are depending on him or her. It may help to show the team member a work-flow diagram or organizational chart that illustrates how his or her work fits into the team’s objectives and the organization’s overall mission.
