Sunday 30 June 2013

Well, Mumbai in june means rain.The mild smell of moist soil refreshes the heart. It was one of the " not so rainy" morning.The clock striked 9, and it was all set for another Dr Mandi class. As soon as he entered, he started the discussion about 3-D printing machines. His jokes were mainly the caustic remarks on still 60-70 lacs cost of such printing machines."There is tremendous potential in the business" he said. And, gradually, he   gave an apportunity to us to work with 3-d printing team in the campus.
Slowly and steadily, his discussion went on to discuss the goals. Yes, SMART goals. In the previous tower building exercise, we saw that the longest tower was 27 blocks high. Dr. Mandi asked all the students about what we thought potential could be.After discussing for some time, we all agreed that potential should be 27+.And therefore, we realized what SMART goals are:

S = simple,super,strategic,specific,structured, sustainable,sensible.......
M= measurable,manageable.........
A=achievable,ambitious..........
R= realistic, rational,...........
T= time bound, tangible..........

So , for every of the following parameter :

1) GOAL SET
2) GOAL ACHIEVED

S = M = A = R = T

And the remaining parameters are:

3) GOAL (historical)
4) POTENTIAL
5) REAL GOAL SET
6) REAL GOAL ACHIEVED
7) PERFORMANCE

As we learned from the discussion,
a)  5) and 6) must be in harmony.
b) Potential shall lead to more potential.
c) Goal settings and goal achievements should follow the spiral trajectory. Example: Fibonacci series: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13...........

d) Potential = Goal settings * Goal Achieved
This equation must be positively looped. Positive Goal settings should lead to positive goals achieved and ultimately lead to positive potential. And, in the loop, positive goals achieved leads to positive goals setting.


Thanks.
