Greetings!  

     

goal gettingYesterday's newsletter featured the first five of ten steps toward Goal Getting from Zig Ziglar.  

  1. Make the commitment to reach your goal.
  2. Commit yourself to detailed accountability.
  3. Build your life on a solid foundation of honesty, character, integrity, trust, love and loyalty.
  4. Break your intermediate and long-range goals into increments.
  5. Be prepared to change.

After reviewing these five steps, where do you rank in terms of Goal Getting? What about the members of your executive team?  Are they achieving their goals?

  

Call us for a confidential overview.  We've helped nonprofits from coast to coast hire the best talent to reach new heights.  Our recruiting efforts can bring effective leaders who make all the difference; leaders who not only set goals but get them accomplished!

10 Steps to Goal Getting - Part 2

by Zig Ziglar

 

6. Share your "give-up" goals (i.e., give up smoking, being rude, procrastinating, being late, eating too much, etc.) with many people. Chances are excellent they're going to encourage you.

7. Become a team player. Remember: You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

8. See the reaching. In your imagination see yourself receiving that diploma, getting that job or promotion, making that speech, moving into the home of your dreams, achieving that weight-loss goal, etc.

9. Each time you reach a goal your confidence will grow so that you can do bigger and better things. After accomplishing any goal, record it in your journal, weekly planner, or smart phone.


10. Remember, what you get by reaching your destination isn't nearly as important as what you become by reaching your goals--what you will become is the winner you were born to be!

Testimonial
 

   

We recently retained The Batten Group to launch two  searches for Community Health Charities-NY, that of Chief Executive Officer and Vice President for Corporate Development.

 

Jim took the time to meet as needed with our search committee, listen to the critical elements of the talent we needed to achieve our goals, create the materials for our launch and then recruit top level talent very quickly.  The Batten Group has a team of expert recruiters who are in sync with nonprofit executives, boards and stakeholders.  They intimately understand our unique industry needs, challenges, and are able to provide strategic counsel and direction that takes much of the risk out of making the wrong hire.    I would recommend Jim Batten and The Batten Group to any hiring authority in nonprofit who seeks a proven search partner who delivers on what is promised, and works with the highest level of trust and integrity.
