Those dreaded performance goals. I don’t know about anyone else but they have always been a source of anxiety and annoyance for me. I never know what to write and the end result always feels insincere and forced, because… They are. The nature of my job is pretty straightforward and at the risk of oversimplifying things, it is what it is. So asking me to create some kind of performance goals feels impossible because my position honestly isn’t one in which there are too many places to climb. Does anyone have any tips on how to create these performance goals when there really isn’t anything to say?

When I set my goals, I attach them to the business performance. I would in market research. I would on established business and new products. Each year, I have a goal to identify the product specifications for a new product that have an annual forecast of $X dollars. I somethings have a process goal to change a process to reduce cost by 2+% or decrease time by 5% or 3 days.

Do you want an increase in responsibilities? Or are you fine where you are?

I have a great deal of responsibilities so I’m not looking to add more unless some of the ones I currently have could be diverted elsewhere
