Tutorial for managers: How to set goals, targets and KPIs that actually drive success in your team

Ever set a team goal that just landed with silence? Everyone nods… and then nothing changes. I’ve been there and the problem usually isn’t your team, it’s the way the goal was set.

In this video, I’m showing you exactly how to set goals and KPIs your team can actually rally behind without micromanaging or overwhelming them. I’ll walk you through five practical shifts to make your goals clear, connected, and co-owned. We’ll cover how to define outcomes, link KPIs to meaning, involve your team early, simplify priorities, and keep progress on track without constant check-ins.
