Synopsis

To achieve useful goals, those goals must be translated into specific, observable, desired performances. The new and completely revised Third Edition of Goal Analysis gives you a concise, simple, step-by-step process for doing so. It shows you how to: Discover the meaning of vaguely stated goals, decide what steps are appropriate for achieving those goals, and recognize and demonstrate achievement of your goals. This revised Third Edition includes four new chapters, over 50 practice exercises to sharpen your skills, a dozen diagrams and graphs to help you understand the process and a new index for easy reference. You'll find this technique so useful that you'll use it not only with colleagues, managers and students, but with friends and family as well.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Dealing with abstract goals is a regular part of our jobs as education and training professionals. Goal Analysis will help you describe the meaning of abstract goals so that you can decide how to go about pursuing them and, more importantly, so you'll know when you have successfully achieved them.

From the Author:

If your goals are important to you, then it's essential that you do more than just talk about them in "fuzzy" terms. This is just as true for organizational and community goals as it is for personal and family goals. The goal analysis procedure described in this book will help you determine the important dimensions or components of the goals you are trying to achieve. This in turn will help you make good decisions about how to accomplish your goals and how to keep track of your progress toward goal accomplishment. It's a procedure that anyone will find useful, from techies to homemakers, from students to managers.
