Goal Setting

1
Goal Setting

• TENA Committee Chair Training FY 2009

2
3 Simple Principals

• Goals must be realistic, measurable and outcome
  focused
• Goals must be measurable, including any financial
  impact
• Goals must have a time frame for completion

3
Three Parts of a goal

• Goal Statement
• What is the measurement criteria?
• What is the outcome?

4
Goal Statement

• It should be simple and concise
• Define exactly what you want to achieve
• What actions are needed to complete the goal?
• What is the financial impact of the goal

5
Measurable

• Set clear guidelines for how you are going to
  measure completion of the goal.
• You need to be able to say that the goal has been
  met.

6
Outcome

• All goals should have an outcome statement
• What will we accomplish when the goal is
  completed?
• What impact does it have?
• How does it affect the Strategic Plan?

7
Time Frame

• Be realistic
• Set time frame for completion of each goal and
  report progress

8
Financial Impact

• Every Committee Chair needs to prepare a budget
• Remember that each Committee Chair is allotted a
  set amount for travel.
• Currently 450.00 per year
• Consider what your goals may cost, and most
  importantly what impact that they could have on
  the budget for income and/or expense.
• Remember RFI (Return for Investment)
• RFI does not always mean that it will bring
  income to the State Chapter
• RFI can also include positive affects for the
  State Chapter
• Example Spend money that will provide education
  to our membership
• We need to explain why we are allocating funds

From Idea to Goal

• First of all Think BIG
• Gather ideas, suggestions, wishes and dreams.
• Prioritize
• How do they fit in the Strategic Plan?
• How do they impact the membership.
• Do they affect Patient Care and Patient Outcomes?
• What is most important?
• Is there a Financial impact for this goal?

10
Pick the Best

• Pick the best two to three goals from the list
• Look at the list
• What is the best investment of your time or funds
  that will impact more people?
• Think of it as a to do list
• A to do list should be short, and only include
  the major things that you really want to achieve
• What are the most important things that you need
  to achieve

11
Putting Goals in Order

• The first goal should be selected as something
  that can be attained quickly and easily
• Sounds crazy, but if you can get the first goal
  completed quickly, the rest of the list becomes
  easier
• Choose a winner to start your list
• Try to have the first goal achieved in the first
  quarter
• Most difficult/challenging goal should be
  scheduled in the last quarter
