There is an equation for understanding and accomplishing our needs, goals, and objectives. Half of the success equation is about what you want (goals), and the other half is about what it takes from a people-point-of view. It's easier to reach your goals when you learn to balance the two sides of the equation, aligning what you want to accomplish with the people who can help you get there, both in the workplace and at home.
Goals is a professional growth book for business leaders who want true success at work and home. It teaches what work-life balance and personal development really looks like as opposed to what we think it looks like. Designed after the Business Goals program, Jud Boies developed this practical guide for meeting goals and acquiring relational awareness through the fictional life of Todd Hanson, a regional sales manager at Severson Systems. Todd learns how to reach his personal and professional growth goals by experiencing relational success.
For over 25 years, the Business Goals program has been deployed in the lives of thousands of people and many successful companies, such as Intel, Apple, Google, Chick-fil-A, and FedEx. In every case, the results are measurable. Most people who deploy the principles outlined in Goals reach significantly higher levels of success because they achieve their business goals and objectives while strengthening their most important relationships. You can too. (A paperback version of this book is also available.)
