      Chapter one – Making goals motivating

      The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. - Michelangelo

      Teams that have an emphasis on measuring and improving their performance normally outperform those that don’t. People have greater motivation and buy-in when they know exactly what is required of them. They challenge mediocrity and set standards that are difficult yet attainable.

      Systems of performance management where the outcomes of our responsibilities are monitored and managed can motivate or demotivate, depending on the way the system is administered.

      To make performance management a beneficial process, remind yourself of the purpose of the system. If a supervisor has a desire to help a team member and liberate their potential then performance management invariably motivates. If a supervisor’s motivation is purely to make the person comply and achieve greater output measures, then it invariably demotivates.

      There are two purposes of setting standards that helps engagement of team members. They can have both a control and a motivating function. They have a control function when team goals are broken down so that each individual team member has specific goals to accomplish. To ensure performance, these goals are then periodically measured and performance improvement plans are put in place where necessary with the overall outcome that the team achieves its goals. This brings clarity to a person’s role.

      Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. - Thomas Jefferson

      Standards are motivating when several factors are in place.

      The standards or goals should be ofappropriate difficulty. Goals that are
