Managing Performance: Setting Stretch Goals

Stretch goals invite your team to seek innovation. These types of goals go above and beyond your employees’ standard performance goals and can motivate and engage your team members. After taking this online training, managers will learn how to align stretch goals with performance goals and also determine when to stretch goals.

Aligning stretch goals with performance goals takes energy, time, and capability from the team. It is important to set small, tangible checkpoints to celebrate victories on the way to stretch goal completion. This course shows how stretch goals can motivate a team and how they can also lead to stress and burnout if not approached correctly.

Supervisors will learn how to decide whether or not to stretch goals. This decision depends on the employee and if the company’s conditions are favorable. Not all employees are high performers or use stretch goals as motivators.

Use this course to prepare your supervisors and managers to set stretch goals at the appropriate time.
