The posting yesterday was from the booklet Business As Unusual. Today's will also be a "gem" from this booklet. Pritchett says that "one way of maximizing effectiveness is to operate with clearly defined goals and objectives." He says that it is beneficial to concentrate on quarterly, monthly, and even weekly performance targets that will help us reach long-term goals. Pritchett adds that wee need to keep our spotlight on the short-term goals and give a generous amount of feedback regarding progress toward the achievement of these goals.
I don't believe this is new information except for the fact it is critical that we have short-term goals (quarterly, monthly, weekly, and even daily)--and give constant feedback-- if we are to achieve our long-term goals.
We have invited Tyler Norton who did an excellent presentation at the charter school confernece to come to our next Board meeting to teach us about strategic planning that fits beautifully with Pritchett's insights.
