Goals

Hello, listeners, members and subscribers! Our sixteenth Moonshots Master episode is here and we are leaping into Leadership and Goal setting, off the back of our Achieving Your Goals series!

To truly get us going, we hear from the master, John Doerr, who inspires us by stating it's crucial to choose the right goals for the right reasons, in business and in our personal lives, and how Google, Bono, And The Gates Foundation Rock The World With OKRS. We then learn from Laura Wilkinson, an Olympic gold medalist, who discusses the importance of setting goals, and why accidents like winning an Olympic Gold don’t just happen.

Now we can dive into Christina R Wodtke, who speaks about ‘What Matters’ and how you flow OKRs through your organisation, as well as the importance of empowerment. We also have Expert Program Management who states how to keep your balance when setting goals, and the value of Self assessment.

To help us kick-start our behaviour today, we learn from Kim Scott, who breaks down Radical Candor and introduces the 4 quadrants. We close, fully inspired and keen to begin, with Terrence Donahue and Michael D Watkins, who talk about the benefits of planning where you’re going forward, and the Next 90 Days.
