What do we know about the order?
Invented. Recorded. Let's look sometimes.
To 99% on this work with the objectives and ends.
It turns out that there are a lot of approaches and rules:
- How to choose a target.
- How to formulate the goal.
- What emphasis (e.g., prophylaxis or expansion, and all three criteria).
- How to make a plan to achieve the goal.
- How to stick to the plan.
- How to set goals for others (employees, children ...).
- Why people do not achieve their goals. Typical mistakes.
So, before you almost scientific treatise. On purposes.
About myself
I finally figured out their motivation. How many books I read for motivation and only in this, I have found why I was most motivating negative. And almost does not motivate positive.
If a fire, force majeure, "truncated lost, chef" - a month I can plow as filled with rocket fuel tractor.
And if I have achieved success, motivation is falling, there is only a pleasant relaxation.
Why am I in any project immediately notice the thin places, possible failures and so on?
The wife said she never saw more pessimistic. It sounded insulting.
After reading the book, I realized that I am a person with a preventive way of thinking.
This has its advantages:
- In difficult situations, I do not lose heart, but only further mobilizes.
- Work is carried out by me precisely and accurately.
And the cons:
- I find it hard to grow, capture new markets, to try something new.
I am now going to put some experiments with negative motivation in the near future. It will be interesting. I will write in detail about it here or blog.
In short, my book "torknulo". I am sure that you will find in the book something of such things for themselves.
Format
Book great. It reads hard. Not for beginners.
Pretend to be scientific, but still not enough references to the real scientific work, research, and so on. D. More rhetoric.
Many of the ideas are repeated dozens of times, and is already beginning to tire. Plus, the third of the book - it is, in fact, another good retelling of the book - "Flexible mind" overview I already did. However, it is to forgive, because thoughts securities))
The book will be convenient to re-read from time to time - at the end of each chapter there is a fairly detailed summary.
results
Evaluation: 8/10.
To read: required.
I've been waiting for this book. I am often asked to recommend something to read on goal-setting. And I do not know what to say. Now I know.
