Module introduction
Anyone can set an ambitious goal, but how many of us actually end up achieving it? All too often, we set goals that sound impressive but are impossible to execute.
In this goal setting course, you will learn why the process of setting goals matters more than picking numbers that sound good. You will also learn how to set goals that your team can actually deliver and find tools to track progress that matters.
In the end, you will walk away with a system for setting goals that drive real performance instead of creating busy work.

Start by Setting SMART goals and set clear performance standards for your team.
Why this module
Most managers fail because their goals are vague, forgotten, or impossible to measure. That is how teams waste energy, get frustrated, and lose focus.
This module cuts through that noise. It gives you a repeatable system to turn goals into execution: clear (KPIs/OKRs) targets and SMART action plans your team owns.

A word from our students
The key takeaway I gained from the MDP was how to effectively manage team interactions and create Individual Development Plans. Simon provided excellent explanations with clear examples and practical strategies for real management situations.
The program was interactive and immediately applicable to my role as a manager.

The key takeaway from the program was the clear process for managing my team member's development. I was particularly impressed by how practical and useful the content was.
I now have high confidence in applying these management frameworks to my daily work.
Kritsaree, Program Manager
The Manager Development Program was the refresher I needed for managing a team. Instead of vague theory, I learned how to set clear goals, give direct feedback, and coach with confidence. The program focuses on what really matters in team management and provides practical implementation guidelines I could apply right away.
