About this webinar

What you'll learn

Evidence shows that employees are more highly engaged and satisfied when they are working on challenging assignments. Despite that, some leaders seek to protect their employees from difficult projects. Can leaders create too many stretch assignments? Does it matter if the lofty goal is set by the group, rather than by the leader alone? Setting goals can be as challenging as meeting them. Join Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman for this live webinar where you will:
• Understand the advantages and complexities of seeking high development targets.
• Analyze the barriers organizations and managers experience.
• Learn four evidence-based skills needed to successfully establish stretch goals.
• Receive the Zenger Folkman Development Guide to aid you in improving this skill. Register for Zenger Folkman’s monthly leadership webinar series.
