iDevelop Series - Goal setting as coach

4. Remain flexible with your coaching goals. Situations change, new opportunities emerge, as coach it's our job to determine when it might be sensible or even necessary to adjust our colleagues’ goals. Rigid adherence to goals, that for whatever reason have become unrealistic or unattainable will only create stress and anxiety for everyone involved. With that said, changing goals should be a collaborative decision. You want discussion and buy-in during that process, otherwise our colleagues will feel like they're constantly chasing a moving target. When we take a positive and strategic approach to goal setting, we can transform the way our colleagues think about their commitment to the organization, dramatically increasing their engagement and performance as well as their potential to contribute at a higher level throughout their careers
