Synopsis

This book argues that goal systems - which include both a superordinate goal and supplementary subgoals - are a more effective way to set goals, and ultimately perform tasks, than traditional goal-setting methods. The author believes that the traditional emphasis on very specific, quantitative goals is less effective, especially when it comes to complex, managerial tasks. This book examines a range of qualitative and quantitative studies that have been done on goal-setting, and offers a new and more nuanced approach to understanding how goals can improve performance. The author's research suggests that goal systems are particularly effective for complex tasks because they provide more information to the individual performing the task. This information can help to clarify the task, increase the individual's motivation, and improve the quality of the action plan. The book concludes by discussing the practical implications of these findings for managers and organizations. If you're looking to improve your goal-setting strategies, this book is a valuable resource.
