Goal-setting, for many people, seems tedious and boring. Just say the words, “We are having a goal-setting meeting,” and count the number of eyes that roll and the groans that vibrate through the room. Some might say that goal-setting puts you over a barrel, an idiom with origins arising from the action of being draped over a barrel to empty the lungs of someone drowning or to administer a flogging.
Goal-setting, however, can be a useful tool for keeping an organization relevant in the business world, especially when utilizing the potential of the human capital within your organization in order to complete the plan.
