Tower building is a funny game, at first side it appears a wonderful way to produce a childish but Unchaa (high) tower trying to compete in the class. But this activity can lead to such valuable lessons in management can only become evident in POM classroom.
Our class through the last two sessions has been trying to build towers sometimes blindfolded, sometimes as a huge team without any proper strategy. but now was a time to be SMART. I highlight the word smart as something needed to change for becoming the highest tower building class of IM sections till now.
So we had to arrive from building towers to S.M.A.R.T. goals. Goals are an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed time frame. This is what our class was asked to achieve and for this we had to fill relevant task values for four different aspects. These are as below:
1. Goal Set
2. Goal Achieved
3. Goal (History)
4. Potential
Everyone had initially different values for all these four paramaters but as S.M.A.R.T. goals come into picture we realized that for a progressive organization goals should be set as a spiral curve
The reason for spiral selection is the property of a spiral which allows it to emanate from a central point getting progressively farther away as it evolves out. Now for performance has a direct relationship with goal set and goal achieved which should complement each other and show as a reliable paramater for further improvements.
Goal set and goal achieved work in a zigzag ladder function in todays organizations where Goal achieved elevates Goal set which in turn impacts positively on Goals achieved and so on. This is what the companies look from managers in todays corporate environment, a person who can deliver performance by juggling with these two paramaters efficiently.
Combining these perspectives can help easily to establish a relationship between Goal set, Potential, Goal achieved and Goal (History). i.e. Goal set > Potential > Goal achieved > Goal History.
This philosophy was applied in the classroom to build a tower of 28 blocks something of an achievement considering earlier record was 27. So the lesson to take is ambitions, goals should be set higher to potential so as to motivate people move towards performance in a spiral fashion and this only can lead to High Performance... Delivered.
