You Suggest to me!
Achieving Your Goal
Having set sharp, clearly defined goals,
you can take pride in the completed
achievements.
The process of achieving goals gives
your club confidence that the club will be
able to achieve even higher and more
challenging goals.
Achieving Your Goal
Develop action steps.
Determine who is responsible for each task.
Establish a timeline.
Determine criteria for measuring progress.
Use resources and tools.
Motivate committee or person.
Evaluate progress and learn from experience.
Achieving Your Goal
If you achieved the goal too easily,
make your next goals harder.
If the goal took a long time to achieve,
make the next goals a little easier.
If you learned something that would
lead you to change other goals, do so.
Share your goals with other Rotary Clubs.
Celebrate Your Goal
Achievements
When you have achieved a goal,
take the time to enjoy the
satisfaction of having done so.
If the goal was a significant one,
reward your club appropriately.
