101: Realistic Goals and Effective Feedback

Ever wonder why some people effortlessly accomplish their goals while others struggle? The latest episode of Practice Freedom journeys into setting effective goals and receiving feedback within healthcare practices. We discuss the significance of establishing feasible objectives based on future predictions, providing a realistic measure for the gap between expectations and their manifestation. Along the line, we illuminate the concept of feedback loops and their critical role when measured in one-year cycles. We explore the role of feedback in our daily lives by drawing inspiration from Steven Kotler’s work around flow and rapid feedback. We debate how it shapes our understanding of situations, facilitates appropriate responses, and propels us into hyper-efficiency and happiness. Using the metaphor of skiing or snowboarding down a mountain, we explore the freedom of understanding that there's no absolute right or wrong way to set goals. Lastly, we challenge the conventional wisdom around rightness and wrongness, encouraging a focus on learning and feedback from our leadership team and peers, serving as a compass guiding us to our truth and goal attainment.Tune in to grasp the art of goal setting and the crucial role of feedback.In this episode, you will hear:<br />The concept of setting realistic goals and harnessing feedback in healthcare practices<br />Exploring feedback loops and their importance in predicting future outcomes and understanding the gap between vision and reality<br />The application of Steven Kotler’s work around flow and rapid feedback, and the significance of feedback in everyday life and setting goals<br />Challenging traditional notions of right and wrong and encouraging you to focus on learning and adapting based on feedback received<br />Why non-judgmental assessment and error correction along the path to achieving goals is important<br />The need for conscious leadership and a willingness to adjust plans based on feedback<br />Understanding that feedback is the fastest way to improve and the importance of incorporating feedback into all aspects of leadership and goal settingResources from this episode:<br />www.markhendersonleary.comFollow and Review:<br />We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
