Never Set A Goal For Your Girlfriend to Love You

Last week, the CEO of the world's largest software company launched a new product called 'Doors 10'.  This CEO said that his goal is not for people to not just use this new product, but to love it. It is like me setting a goal to get my girlfriend to love me. That cannot happen in life.

A goal is something that you set as a target so that you can work towards it.  The goal is based on things that you can work on and things that you can control.  What happen when you achieve your goal is called an outcome.  Note that the outcome is the result of your goal plus other things that you cannot control, like the response and reaction from other people. 

In short, a goal is something that you can control but an outcome is not.  So base on this understanding you cannot set a goal for your girlfriend to love you.  You can set a goal for you to woo your girlfriend, but you have no absolute control over the outcome of whether your girlfriend will love you or not.  You can as much as possible influence the outcome, but the outcome could be very different from your goal. 

In business many bosses set goal of "doubling sales in this year".  In fact what they are setting is an outcome.  Their goal should be on things that they can work on, like getting more customers, new products, etc. 

Setting goals and getting your team to achieve outcomes are definitely essential jobs of a manager and leader.  If you too want to lead like a leader and acquire leadership power, come for this new course
