Why, How and What to design year 2020 goals seriously (training module)?

I’m going to help and coach you to design goals for your next 12 months, or the goals of year 2020.

Actually it is not difficult to set the goals for any productive individual but to achieve the goals and maintain the rhythm of achieving the goals is a really key and challenge. And also, it is very important to consider the your background of your successes and failures in different situation.

So, I’m going to discuss it seriously and my approach with you will be slightly different than in a mainstream goal setting with other methods.

There are couple of steps you need to take and during every step, requires deep sincerity and personal motivation So, in my 10 steps procedure of setting goals for next 12 months will require a lot of motivation and deep understanding of why we are doing this So let’s start.

STAGE 1 , Preparation

We need to understand who I am. Imagine that “I need to understand myself” on a very basic and foundation level. Because yourself is directly link to what you are thinking in present and what you are going to achieve with your connected and prospect future.

Because you, as identity is connected with your environment with your mind with your internal and external forces. Your nurturing, your genes, grandparents, ethnicity, social location and many other things.

However, once you will have a good understanding of your background, then you will make your life more easy and make realistic expectations.

Since you are the only unique person in whole entire world So that’s the stage one, will focus and analyse on yourSelf. what your achievements and failures you are lying behind. Why did you achieve those things, and why you became failed person in certain situations and events.

By 360 degree analyse your timeline with your life you will enter into stage no 2.

STAGE 2 , Think Big

You need to imagine Minimum three to four dreams of your life. It could be your financial goals, Career or Business goals, relationships and Personal Development goals etc. You need to write them down on the paper and than transfer them on the any digital or online planning tools as there are so many tools available.

One thing when you are writing your dreams, you need to write each and everything related to the dream, small or big.

For example, What is your purpose of this life. Since, you can divide your life in terms of personal, family, career or entrepreneur, social or political or religious etc.

Ask yourself, why you are living, How you are living and for what you are living. Why you want to achieve your goals, how you can achieve them and what activities you will do to achieve them. So you need to know first where do you stand in the world or society? and Where you want to go now ? It does make sense ! ?

Think big about your dreams. Think in terms of big numbers or big achievements. Like,

I would increase my income 5 times more or want to become millionaire or earn 6-figure.

I would lose my body weight by 20 kg

I want to part of squad of national sports Team.

I want to become national Political leader.

I would become CEO in google or want to become entrepreneurs.

I would visit whole world with my spouse or kids

I would write and publish my first book.

STAGE 3 – ROLES

Our life is like Jigsaw games that all roles needs to combine together to make complete picture of our life. So you can turn all dreams / purposes into roles and start to work on each role in order to achieve your big goal or dream.

Ideally one can have 5- 7 major roles where you can focus and each role will make a very significant development in journey of your life, is not ?

Fundamentally, for each role, you need to answer all following three questions.

Question 1 – WHY I want to achieve this goal? Why It is so important for me? Why it has significance in my life ? Why this purpose has special role in my life? Think in terms of philosophy, psychology way.

Question 2, HOW you will actually achieve this. Think numbers, qualitative or quantitative approach, procedures and methods etc

Question 3, WHAT activities or tasks you will be doing in order to achieve.Thinks in terms of operations, each small or medium or big activities, daily, weekly or monthly. Take example of losing 10 KG weight loss. Write down answers of Q1, Q2 & Q3.

STAGE 4, SMART GOALS & Milestones

Turn your roles into a realistic SMART goals. Well, when I say that smart goals, it does mean that you can track them any time that what the progress you are making. For example, I’ll need to drop 10 kg weight in next 6 months, and how you can do you can add regular exercise and wise nutrition etc and then obviously you can write further details.

You can turn your all goals progress in terms of quarterly and than monthly wise. Quarterly achievement you can call them as Milestones.

These milestones can be achieved by continuous work on your goals and break into monthly achievements. These monthly progress of goals will be outcome of your continuous weekly efforts. It does mean you are actually dividing your all goals in terms of milestones, monthly and weekly goals. Ofcourse, weekly goals achievement are reward of daily basis activities or tasks you are making. Is not ?

Another realistic goals. I need to make extra 10,000 pounds or dollars or rupees or Dirham in next 12 months by starting my part time business using my my some unique skills set. So, that how you are making your goals as a smarter. Don’t forget to splits goals into quarterly (milestones) and monthly and than weekly so on, it must include that timeframe, and very realistic approach of what you are going to make or create.

Another smart goal is about relationships. Obviously relationships goals are difficult to measure and track, however, you can put into some figures and numbers, because the miracle of mathematical figures or numbers, is that you still can make a lot of difference in relationship goals.

similarly there are so many smart goals you can create. Believe me you have unlimited potential and you just need to imagine and turns into your action and worlds is yours. So these are very important aspect of your life.

That’s how you can break down your dreams, and you can achieve any goal. Anyway, so this is the very realistic approach. I have helped myself by following these steps, and lots of my other clients, they have followed instructions and their life is superb and changed dramatically.

STAGE 5, TRACKING

Now it is time to take action, make progress on daily and weekly basis and tracking the progress on your scoreboard in your planning tool. Many experts recommend every night or every day you need to keep track but I would say at least twice in a week. One in mid week or and one at weekends.

Many people face lot of procrastination after setting goals when they think or take action. It is because of self-mental mechanism and fear of failure. Sometime, it is due to lack of self-discipline and poor knowledge of time management. I must recommend to read some good motivational books and articles or video to stay connected with your goals and all those your favourite self-help resources. Everyone is entirely unique so you need find your own method of motivation for fulfilling your dreams.

Tracking does not merely means to see whether you have reached expectations or beyond it but rather to change your goals according to reality would changed. Successful people edit their goals constantly after learning new things, observation, deep thinking, interact new realities they face every day. Key is to work on your planning tool consistently and vibrantly.

Is there anything needs to change is some reality is going to going to be change, or you need to add or remove something you need to add these things there. And hopefully, that will make you a very clear picture of next 12 months. And that’s very important.

STAGE 6, REWARD & SHARING

And the next stage is to share and teach this exciting learning to others. You can write a blogpost, turn your life passion into blogging, let other people to know that. How do you think about certain topics or because when you start to sharing or journaling, your stuff on regular basis that will give you more sense of maturity, confidence and more encouragement and motivation to achieve your goals. And don’t forget to celebrate achievement. Plan a motivation repetition system on each significant goal progress. Remember, celebration, or a party is very important and crucial for your own personal motivation. For example, After milestone of three months or a month, you can have a nice dinner with your partner, family, or do something, go for a movie or give a party for yourself. So, that is something you must need to do, because how the personal psyche psyche of the person works that we also needs to motivate ourselves.

Leadership and Management Trainings – an Effective Paradigm

Preface – Is the business leadership subject of Management or it is covering all roles of life of an individual. Are we enough able to develop engaged and committed employees? Or do we see ourselves as great carer or parent? Are we enough self-aware that we are directly or indirectly connected with our cultural and social roots and at the same time we are making significant contribution to our organisation, family, society and the world?

Great author Dr. Stephen R. Covey says;

“I don’t define leadership as becoming CEO. A CEO is no more likely to be a leader than anymore else. I am talking about leading own life, being a leader among your friends, being a leader in your own family”.

These are very important and contemporary questions for contemporary and demanding minds. We are missing definite certain principle based believes-set that would modify our Industrial mind to information or knowledge worker age and it would prepare us against those societal forces, out of which we can choose to respond. We are product our generation-to-generation transferred attitude or we have our own wisdom of freedom to do or meditate against historical standards. I am victim of this lifestyle or thinking pattern because my parents & my family have been nurturing with this environment or we have our own voice that can create great relationships and humanitarian events.

Leadership and Management Trainings by Maratib Ali Shad

Basically, leadership explain and provide us a new mind-set which provide us a unique paradigm of abundance mentality and freedom to choose our response. We need to cope all modern challenges of life, job, business and rapidly changing societal trends.

Dr. Stephen says,

“The problem of leadership today is that managers are still applying the Industrial Age control model to knowledge workers. They fail to tap into the highest motivations, talents, and genius of their people”.

Inspiring author and Leadership authority, Dr. Stephen R. Covey believes that every human is a unique combination of body, mind, heart and spirit. Each person on this earth has different needs of their living conditions, versatile talent of diverse taste, emotional attachments with natural and unlike things, roles and great voice of spiritual intelligence which guide the person throughout his life. This is so dynamic and great paradigm of human dignity.

Our almost every child and adult are studying in schools and university. But we need to think that did we provide them opportunities to learn effectively foundations of spiritual, moral, cultural and social needs. We have developed lot of engineering miracles and multi-million institutions but our students are lack of understanding of all human needs in reality. Our popular life style has born a generation where we read news; 66% Americans are either overweight or have obesity and similar data we have in other part of the world. Every person is under pressure of unwanted things. They are in pain but they have to live with it. We are building thousands of physical fitness gym, however, side by it, we have less number of leadership development institutions where we can develop such humans who can maintain their body fitness, learn to flourish, passion for excellence and live by conscience in every moment of life.

In this knowledge worker age, people are unable to keep balance in their different roles of life. For example, a productive employee could be very smart Manager to create multi-million dollars ideas to his organisation but that employee could not maintain great relation with their spouse. It could be a worse relationship setback!! They are not even proven caring parent or guardian. Likewise, business or technical professionals could have very unique mental approach for becoming successful entrepreneur or highly skilled worker but they are unable to understand their child’s needs. We need to build leaders to cope it. Dr. Stephen R. Covey said;

“When parents see their children’s problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. When a child comes to them with a problem, instead of thinking, “Oh, no! Not another problem!” their paradigm is, “Here is a great opportunity for me to really help my child and to invest in our leadership.”

This is indeed a great leadership paradigm.

Troubled life is also result of heedlessness of Time Management Principles, to do list is not sufficient and was an old method. Now this age demands new approach and new tool sets of keeping balance all tasks for all roles of life which we choose to plan and do proactive. Furthermore, we need to split our years and months into weeks and days, for all individual roles, based on urgencies and importance factor. Dr. Covey said, once;

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” (Leadership Paradigm)

A smart business one may have extra substantial possessions but he or she could lack of meaning of life. They are not able to know about purpose of their life and give the ultimate inner satisfaction for their daily works why they should do it. This philosophical approach of thinking is as vital as earning money or other important work. They may need to study sacred literature or have certain links which indoctrinate them for religious or spiritual faiths which can give them direction of life and accountability as they would need.

As “Accountability breeds response-ability.”

On the other hand, Leaders are also so rich people with certain mind-set who can keep balance in their life, you know why? Because they have found their voice of their personal and professional realms and now they inspire other to find their voices and it will inspires millions.

Hence, Professor Stephen R. Covey define Leadership as

“Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves.”

So leadership is real need of today whatever you have the role of your life.

Leaders tend to be trustworthiness along with their competencies. Professional competencies demands new skills, new tool set and unique paradigm under character groom itself.

Character building is a great challenge of today’s world. Failure as personal or professional roles is in result of character weaknesses and our schools and society have been failed to make a trustworthy person. It effect, often, the personal relationships especially with friends and spouses and also in business environment when Manager or CEO involve in affairs and corruption scandals.

“90 percent of all leadership failures are character failures”.

Basically, character is composition of integrity, maturity and abundance mentality whereas competence build through technical knowledge of certain field or industry, conceptual understanding of things and ideas and how to become interdependent to achieve business or work goals. When character meets with competency, wisdom born. Leader than live by wisdom, act under humility and do by courage.

Leaders believe in synergistic team work where 1+1 is not 2 but 11 or more. Where teams in factory unit, offices and homes earn fruits of synergy every moment. They reinforce strengths and ignore the weaknesses of each other. If people have conflicts at work, home and in politics, leaders transform the issues the 3rd alternative solution which is a higher way out of solution provided by each party. Like Dr. Stephen Said,

“Valuing the differences is the essence of synergy the mental, the emotional, the psychological difference between people. And the key to valuing those differences is to realize that all people see the world, not as it, but as they are.”

Today, most of employee are disengaged with organisational priorities. Involvement of employee can be make sure only by directly emotional attachment with core purpose of the project or organisation. Clearly communicated mission and its derived goals are indispensable for happier workers.

No involvement no commitment!

All principle-centred leaders believe in run their roles of life based on mission statement. Their personal mission are integrated with their professional job roles, family and relationships. Goals, weekly and daily tasks are their water under they live. They use modern technology for keeping their Time Management and priorities but do not indulge in it. They are self-manager and carry powerful life driven character oriented values like integrity, trust, humility, trust worthiness, dignity, optimism, synergy and stewardship. They lead their own life with interdependence style of amalgamation of Vision, Discipline, Passion and Conscience.

This world is turning into intense customer oriented. Every individual and organisation are somewhere are customers of each other. Therefore we need to build a mind-set where this customer oriented market can be satisfied and service must be essence of all passion and spirit.

Like Nathan Eldon said once, “Service is the rent we pay for living in this world of ours”.

Leaders have vision of deep thinking and philosophical foundation the way they perceive the world. They believe in people, watch dreams, have idealistic approach, aware of reality, really helpful for everyone and have capacity to think outside the box. Consequently, they are creative and mature enough to achieve their desired life.

Leaders maintain self-discipline because they believe in natural principles and see synergy everywhere in nature. They know that they need to focus on their mission and goals, constantly, independently through continues hard work and competent values with decisive nature. They executive in their business action plan with realistic and achievable approach.

Also, leaders are passionate about what they do, fearlessly. They are enough sensitive to accept every challenge of their life role, self-motivating and have immense courage to launch personal and business initiatives.

Keeping their vision, discipline and passion, leaders also need a lens through which they can accountable itself. They have great sense of right and wrong which burn them from their inside and they listen inner friend’s voice of their conscience, it always push or pull them in every moment of their life whenever they need of it. This little whispering is called conscience and govern all other three component of the whole-person i.e. physical, mental and emotional or social intelligences within a leader.

If an individual could really believe on these intelligences, along with whole roadmap to live on path of greatness, and find his own voice then it can discover a leader inside you, no matter what age level you are.

Dr. Stephen R. Covey says,

“We are a product of neither nature nor nurture; we are a product of choice”.

And that’s Leadership.

So we need to certain training programs that can build minds of our employees, parents, scientists and professionals who can cope and feel difference in this age of complexity and next age of wisdom. These trainings can have spirit to transformation the lives many individuals who can become source of inspiration of thousands of others and then this light spreads on.

Today multi-million industries and brand companies are investing billion pounds to educate on their employees development so that they can be engaged with purpose and operations of the organisation. Government and private organisations are focusing that how they can develop and transform minds of their workers to meet knowledge worker age economy needs and be cradle of inspiration for next business generation.

I believe that leadership developmental programs are voice of this age and is necessary part of every academia, on top. Individuals are getting blessed by virtue of this new mind-set and learn new skill-set to cope every challenge of new time.

Today, core academic discipline like Business Management has comprehended importance of education of Leadership development to graduates and professionals. Thousands of universities and colleges are announcing hundreds of courses, trainings, seminars and certifications for Leadership growth. Multinational organisation and cooperate world need diversity and vision in their management mentors and workforces to be succeeded their business master plans and financial goals. They are in great need of certain mind-set which can renovate their management into truly and dynamic business leaders.

I have shown you a very quick view of importance of leadership development in business, personal and social roles. There are many other dimensions as awakening calls for Managers and emerging individuals who can train themselves with change of successful paradigm that is need of today and we must need to abolish old successful way of thinking pattern because remember;

“ Nothing fails like success”.

Trainings based on leadership improvement packages and individual effectiveness are in fact fundamental function of today business and innovative world. Emerging enterprises and social organisations need networking and transparency in actions of which they want to achieve their collective dreams. Employees of the organisation want to work in healthy environment where they can fulfil their needs of personal and family economics, learn new skills and unleash their potential, emotionally connected with cause of the organisation with synergistic spirit and with definite accountable inner which whisper them either they are doing right and wrong.

“You cannot change the fruit without changing the root”.
