AIM for Development: Setting Personal Development Objectives That Work

How can you be certain someone will accomplish a development objective you set? The simple answer is, you can’t. Employees will only develop themselves if they truly wish to; the drive must come from them. A successful development objective needs A.I.M., which stands for “Aspirations,” “Interests” and “Measurement.” This training video shows you how to help employees set personal development goals they can and will achieve.

This course demonstrates how to apply the A.I.M. concept to setting personal development objectives with employees. For example, for an objective to be aspirational, it must be relevant to the employee’s own aspirations and not someone else’s. You can help them define these aspirations by asking questions. This course provides specific examples to walk you through each step of the process for setting objectives.

Development objectives are important for an employee’s growth at his or her company, but those objectives must be meaningful, personalized, and created with the employee’s specific aspirations in mind. Utilize the information presented in this training and start helping your team set personal development objectives that work.
