Performance Goals Success Criteria
A rapid self-assessment for determining if individual goals are set up to drive performance
Most performance management systems do not fail because people are not working hard. They fail because goals are not clearly tied to what actually drives results.
Performance goals are one of the most powerful tools an organization has to translate strategy into execution. But in practice, many goals are vague, activity-based, or disconnected from business priorities. As a result, teams stay busy, but impact remains unclear.
At JST People Strategy, we believe that strong performance management starts with clear, outcome-driven goals. That’s why we created the Performance Goals: Success Criteria, a simple, practical tool to help leaders and managers assess whether individual goals are truly aligned, measurable, and capable of driving results.
This tool provides a structured way to evaluate goal quality and quickly identify where goals are falling short, so individual performance directly contributes to organizational success.
