Short: Setting Goals as a Leader

As a leader, what do you think about when setting goals for the quarter or setting goals for the year?

In this instalment of DPM Shorts, our experts talk about the importance of moving away from tactical skills like building a project plan or triaging QA bugs. Instead, look for ways that you can deliver value across the organization and build credibility for your team.

  • How many training sessions do you run?
  • How many events/course do you attend and how do you share that knowledge within the organization?
  • Look for gaps in your organization and solve one.
  • Build relationships across the organization and advocate for your team.
