The new dynamics of goal setting - Denis Waitley

This volume takes readers beyond the usual goal-setting routines to discover new methods for succeeding in a changing world. It is an introduction to flextactics - a new programme for recognizing and achieving goals in business and life.;Created for high-performance individuals who know their primary mission in life and are looking for efficient, effective ways of fulfilling that mission, these cutting-edge strategies - called flextactics - should put them on track towards achieving their goals, and help them remain flexible and focused no matter what obstacles, unforeseen circumstances, or setbacks might appear in their path.;Flextactics are principles that remain valid no matter what circumstantial changes occur in the economy, but they are not hoary adages carved in stone. They are in-sync with the most recent discoveries in the theories of chaos and complexity that provide the best models for explaining the current business environment.;In goal-setting, the old way was to set goals and pre-programme specific subgoals and priorities on a list, and check them off one-by-one as they are accomplished in an organized, stair-step approach.;The 21st-century achiever, however, understands that there is a "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". Aware that chaos is always exerting an influence, he or she sets life-forming goals, with subgoals that can be adjusted to meet spur-of-the-moment changes, and rapidly shifting conditions. Multipurpose flexibility is built into all goals, plans and activities.;This approach, which is the foundation of flextactics, determines how to fit every new circumstance or experience into life-forming goals. The book includes dozens of techniques, tips and strategies, plus a 21-day plan designed by Denis Waitley to teach flextactics in an easy step-by-step programme.
