What techniques can you use to overcome setbacks in your goal setting?

One important lesson I have learned in my professional journey that setbacks and failure will come. The imp. expectation from a leader is, how fast and smoothly he /she can react, assess and fix. Few things which I follow are 1.During target setting, be little conservative. In Project planning, be realistic and then while execution be aggressive. In summary, do under promise & over deliver. 2.As much as possible try to have plan B. (If one can have plan C, that's an awesome situation). Stakeholder should be aware about A and B both and the shortcomings/risks of B. If situation/ business environment allows, its better to keep stakeholders align for situation(s) where one need to shift to plan B. In such scenario its possible to recover fast.

Sometimes, when setting goals, people may be a bit too optimistic assuming several variables, which are beyond your control zone, will be resolved in line with your needs. When noticing bumps on the road it is important to clearly understand whether goals are still realistic or adjusts are needed. The faster you identify necessary corrections the better. Needless to say that purpose or final goal is your compass to keep you focused on what need to be accomplished.

I think as leaders one of the most important attributes we can have is the ability to stop and look in the mirror when we are experiencing a setback. Asking ourselves as leaders the tough questions first. 1. What is something I need to start doing? 2. What is something I need to stop doing? 3. As a team, what did we stop doing that we should start again? 4. What are we continuing to do "because we have always done it that way" - but isn't working anymore? One of my favorite quotes is by John Maxwell, "The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. the leader adjusts the sails."

In life, you either succeed or learn. A failure is a failure only if you have not learnt something new from that situation / experience, be it professional or personal. The most important aspect as a leader is to have the courage to accept setbacks and be open to learn from within and from outside. One should then reassess the situation, re-calibrate the resources and approach the goals again.

Begin with the end in mind. Close your eyes. Breathe. Imagine. What does success look like? Feel like? Sound like? For me and our team this helps us internalize the shared vision. We can find our own ways to create innovative and elegant paths to get there.

A setback is never a failure! There is a simple rule I have learned from one of my volleyball coaches : - Focus only on the "now" and the "future". If we miss a goal, there is no need to blame anyone, neither it should end up in a loss of motivation or passion for the goal. All that counts now is the future : - Reset the deadline - Take action to succeed And then take action to deliver in time.

In my experience, when a set back occurs, I always asked why me? This question fosters a victim mindset. This led to an approach of defensiveness. I reframed by starting with the question of what the set back is trying to teach me? This changed my approach to the situation and drove curiosity and positivity. Along the journey, I set small milestones and celebrate them to fuel a virtuous cycle which helps me rebound faster. When taking on high risk situations, there’s always a higher possibility of failure. The reward is that regardless of the outcome, there is always something to gain, even if it’s just learning but more often you end up surprised by what you achieve.

To overcome setbacks in goal setting, one must try reassessing goals, breaking them into smaller tasks, staying adaptable, and seeking support from others. Adjusting approach can help navigate challenges more effectively.

If we are challenging ourselves, there will be setbacks. If there are not, you might be moving too slow or not being bold enough. Use it as an opportunity to grow. Something I learned while in the military was the use of an After Action Review, using this when things go well or poorly - every time. You learn from the positive outcome and the setbacks. Look for the key learnings you can bring forward and keep things in perspective. Not all setbacks are as bad as they first appear, and could potentially accelerate the outcome you are looking for.

Setbacks act as pivotal points of self-awareness, signaling areas for growth. Through contemplating past failures, I found they often paved the way for improved results. Each rejection, upon reflection, guides us toward unforeseen, positive trajectories. Despite initial uncertainty, the path gradually becomes clearer, affirming that things have a way of falling into place. It's essential to acknowledge that others aspire to be in your current position, and your past self would undoubtedly take pride in your progress. Take setbacks as your points to work upon to check off your weaker sections and turn them into your greatest strengths.

In an operational context, overcoming a setback requires reassessing and adjusting objectives to align with current capabilities. Utilizing SMART criteria, operational goals should be recalibrated to reflect realistic process improvements, efficiency targets, or cost-saving measures. Break down overarching operational aims into smaller, actionable tasks with clear metrics for success, and acknowledge milestones to maintain momentum and team morale. This approach ensures that operational plans remain dynamic and responsive to the changing business landscape.

Acredito muito nos critérios SMART, principalmente se precisar rever e adequar uma situa??o da meta, ao envolver o TIME, mostra a realidade e credibilidade na composi??o das metas. Eu entendo que motiva e impulsiona o desafio.

Revisitar e revisar as metas é extremamente importante para qualquer que seja o tipo de meta, sejam elas profissionais ou pessoais, pois no decorrer do percurso há novos aprendizados, vivências e até mesmo percal?os que precisam ser administrados para que seja possível cumprir o planejamento. Nem sempre uma meta que foi estabelecida em um período poderá ser cumprida conforme o planejamento, e para que n?o haja frustra??es e desistências é necessário que sejam realizados ajustes, ou mesmo se a meta foi cumprida em um período mais curto de tempo, pois estabelecimento de metas, é também, uma forma interessante de manter a auto motiva??o.

Setting realistic expectations from ourselves are not only achievable but also sensible in the long run. Or else we end up exhausting ourselves in the process Therefore, revising the goals as per the requirements

Contrary to popular belief, goals are not meant to be set in stone. In today's fast paced environment, staying nimble and having the ability to pivot is crucial to you successfully reaching your objectives. Create scheduled check-ins with your team to analyze performance and refine goals on a consistent basis. When moving the goal post, make sure that your team understands "the why" behind the decision.

Never say Never, reassess and find another way to proceed Never quit dig deeper into what your trying to achieve did you miss something

This brings me to the essence of Atomic Habits, emphasizing the significance of a 1% daily effort for a compounded 100% impact. Fix your target and give your 1% everyday to make it 100%. The initial stage is seldom easy, but the journey becomes captivating when you allow time to acclimate to challenges. Learning to read didn't happen in a day, and crawling took months to master. Be patient and avoid being too harsh on yourself. Putting extra pressure onto yourself is as similar as over watering the plants which works adversely. Chin Up!

There's always a learning after a failure or a setback. I have mentioned before as well to lead 1st you need to be a good team mate so to be a good speaker you need to be a good listener. A bad day or a failure needs to be reviewed with the team on What went wrong to correct it collectively bouncing back towards an Achievement. The lesson here is Never let Success get on your head and Never let failure get your heart - falling failure is an experience led to a Successful winning??

Can you remember how many times you fell before you started walking ….so let’s focus on getting to walk then run then get to the destination which will be one of many

Once you are clear on your revised goals, I strongly advise you to implement the Urgent vs. Important matrix. Tasks that are Important and not urgent must be prioritised because they will soon enter an important and urgent phase. Attempt to automate tasks that are neither urgent or important. Assign to members of the next level team, what is important but not urgent. When setting group goals, it's crucial to be extremely specific about who will do each activity, when we'll finish (start and stop times), what we'll accomplish (clear outcomes are needed), and where we'll be doing it (location).

Learning from experience are great lessons to carry forward and implement in the risk management in future projects. It can also mean having some plan Bs' in case the same setbacks happen.

If it worked don't believe it was all you. If it failed don't believe it was all you. Be critical and try to understand what you did right and what was luck. Repeat good behaviors. Stop the others.

When you lose, don't lose a lesson. Setbacks and defeats teach you about your vulnerability. Once you know how your vulnerability impacts your progress. You can make a plan to overcome that. Knowing what you lack and acting on it is a powerful mechanism. A person who never failed does not exist.

In my career journey, I have had so many opportunities to take on challenging roles many would pass up. Doing so has expanded my skillset and helped me attain new skills. I consider myself a problem-solver who is very thoughtful in my approach to solutioning. The techniques that I have been able to pull into my approaches have developed over time and include but are not limited to the following: - being a visionary (seeing things around the corner and anticipating the impacts of my decisions) - collaborating more with folks who do not sit in my day-to-day - separating tactical actions from strategy - being creative and innovative in my concepts and ideas - documenting my steps and bring the team along the journey Hope this helps!

? There will never be a perfect world and there is always a better way to perform same task repeatedly but with more efficiency and better results. ? Learning is an ongoing process so reflecting the lessons from these learnings is important for next goal setting activities. ? Sharing of these lessons with community and others is important to ensure that people need not to reinvent themselves and can leverage the learning from others experience.

Absolutely, I've overcome a setback, and it feels incredible. I've put in so much effort, dedication, and resilience into reaching this goal. It's time to acknowledge and celebrate this achievement, not just for me but for everyone who supported me. I'm rewarding myself and those who stood by me with something meaningful because we all deserve it. Sharing my success story isn't just about boasting; it's about inspiring others facing similar challenges. This victory marks my growth, but it also means setting new and higher goals for myself.

Stop and smell the roses. If not for you, for your team. Many driven people have a mindset of "happy never satisfied" - they are not driven by back pats and high-fives but by being successful. We experience success or reach a goal and immediately look to what the next thing is to achieve. While that may work well for many, it can be demoralizing to your team. I am a "happy but never satisfied" kind of person, but I have learned the importance of making sure we stop and celebrate with the team. As a leader today, I say that comment often to the leadership at my hotels. Be excited for the team and WITH the team! It is okay to have a new goal and that is exciting, but make sure you stop and smell the roses.

Interessante a inclus?o de “Comemore o seu sucesso” como uma das etapas deste processo. é muito comum sempre focarmos na busca do objetivo e dos caminhos de replanejamento das atividades, sem necessariamente valorizarmos as conquistas ao longo do caminho. Pensando especialmente em gest?o de equipes, as pequenas vitórias e conquistas ao longo do caminho - e a habilidade de celebrá-las com foco no continuidade do processo - s?o elementos fundamentais de sucesso.

Celebrating success is an integral part of maintaining a positive and resilient mindset. By taking the time to acknowledge your achievements, you not only cultivate a sense of fulfillment but also fuel your motivation to tackle future challenges with confidence and determination. Remember, every success, no matter how small, is a testament to your commitment and resilience. Make sure to Share Achievements. Celebrate with those who have supported you along the way. Sharing your successes not only strengthens your connections but also allows others to take part in your joy, fostering a positive and supportive network.

Take time to celebrate and acknowledge your success. Recognize the unwavering dedication, hard work, and resilience exhibited throughout your journey. Always express appreciation to those who supported you, rewarding their contributions with meaningful gestures. Do not forget to share your success story to inspire others grappling with similar challenges. Revel in your growth and improvement, using this achievement as a stepping stone to set new and loftier goals for yourself.

To overcome setbacks in goal setting as a CFO: 1. Reflect and learn from the setback. 2. Adapt and adjust goals or action plans accordingly. 3. Break down goals into smaller milestones. 4. Seek support from mentors or colleagues. 5. Maintain resilience and a positive mindset. 6. Learn from failures and use them as opportunities for improvement. 7. Continuously refine strategies based on lessons learned. 8. Prioritize goals and allocate resources effectively. 9. Stay flexible and open to adjusting goals and strategies.

1. Set Practical Goals. Often times, people set unrealistic or impractical goals for themselves that they are unable to achieve in the immediate future. 2. Don’t Fear Failure. The additional effort and motivation that is required for challenging goals makes them more fulfilling to accomplish. 3. Have a Plan. A big part of making goals is coming up with a plan of action to achievement.

1. Call your goals "dreams" and write them down. Share your dreams with others because they're more likely to help you. If you miss a goal, it feels tougher than missing a dream, which stays alive in your mind. 2. Winning happens with a team, but losing often feels lonely. People flock to success, but for unmet goals, be ready to face it alone. 3. Be kind to yourself; avoid punishing behaviors like substance abuse. Prioritize your health and be a friend to yourself.

Il y'a toujours un décalage entre l'objectif et le réalisé. Même l'Over performance devrait s'expliquer afin de ne pas prendre les artefacts pour des high performance. Trop de cadres transforment des circonstances favorables en success stories. Raconter de belles histoires est une compétence aujourd'hui ! La gestion des revers doit être gérées à partir des mêmes critères qui ont servis à fixer les objectifs. Si le budget à été fixé par rapport à l'historique des ventes, qu'est-ce qui a changé ? S'il a été fixé sur la base des clients validés, qu'est-ce qui a été modifié ? S'il a été fixé par rapport à une opportunité exceptionnelle prévue, est-ce que celle ci s'est concrétisée ? La fixation rigoureuse des objectifs est la clé.

Be authentic. People crave authenticity along with a drive for improvement. Authenticity alone won’t push progress as alone it could breed complacency. Authenticity and drive breeds accountability.
