Goal Setting and Decision Making

In his national bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey (2014) outlines his research by providing seven behaviors that people who have demonstrated success exemplify. The second habit that Covey describes is to “Begin with the End in Mind.” In other words, you need to think about where you want to end up prior to starting. This concept can easily be described as goal setting.

Defining a goal and then verbally articulating why and how that goal was obtained (goal setting) can be made simple and easily accomplished and will be the focus of this module. You will have the opportunity to explore an invaluable process in helping to make great decisions.
