Discover the Performance Management Best Practices of the Best-in-Class
We hope you adopt several of the Marketing Performance best practices. You may find it easier to adopt a best practice if you think of it more as an intentional goal. If you decide to pursue one or some of these, Elizabeth Miller and Alan Marlatt at the University of Washington discovered that people who are successful in keeping their any resolution they make:
- Have a strong initial commitment to make a change
- Have coping strategies to deal with problems that will inevitably surface
- Keep track of their progress
Dr. Kirsti Dyer of Columbia College offers these five suggestions for successfully keeping and achieving your commitments:
- Don’t make too many. Pick a realistic and attainable goal that YOU want to accomplish.
- Make a plan, write it down, and make a small change every day
- Involve your team.
- Acknowledge progress and wins
- Take set-backs in stride, adjust and recommit
