\"Global<\/a>Results Orientation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Results Orientation is a competency that is defined as focusing on the desired end result of one\u2019s own or one\u2019s unit\u2019s work; setting challenging goals, focusing effort on the goals, and meeting or exceeding them. A person demonstrating this competency:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Develops challenging but achievable goals<\/li>\n
  2. Develops clear goals for meetings and projects<\/li>\n
  3. Maintains commitment to goals, in the face of obstacles and frustrations<\/li>\n
  4. Finds or creates ways to measure performance against goals<\/li>\n
  5. Exerts unusual effort over time, to achieve a goal<\/li>\n
  6. Has a strong sense of urgency about solving problems and getting work done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Importance of this Competency<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Results Orientation enables an individual to set and achieve challenging goals. People with this competency keep their goals and performance measures firmly in mind, so that they accomplish more in a shorter period of time. This competency is also an advantage after downsizing, because staff of a leaner organization must accomplish more work and become more productive.<\/p>\n

    General Considerations in Developing this Competency<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    One of the best ways to develop this competency is to work closely with a manager or team leader who demonstrates it. These people set challenging but achievable goals and milestones, regularly checking their progress against goals. They also demonstrate a sense of urgency about achieving goals. You may also find it helpful to read one of our guides\u00a0that address goal setting<\/a>.
