Introduction Having well defined goals is like setting yourself and the team up for success. Goals are like action plans that will harness returns and investments as well as create a stable and attainable
working environment (Sosik & Jung, 2018). There are goals to help individuals with personal development, strategic goals that will measure success in deeds and numbers, and performance goals to help leaders understand where the employee stands. When I referred to the results Predominant Leadership Style Questionnaire, the results stated that I have what it takes to be a transformational leader. Setting goals will help me to ensure that I continue to enhance my personal development and how I support my employees and the team. Setting goals can also help me to being a passive leader. “Passive leaders avoid identifying and clarifying critical areas and possible problems, avoid getting involved, setting standards, and monitoring the actions of their subordinates. This type of leadership usually has a negative impact on the results” (CLIPA, & GRECIUC, 2018).
Five Goal Statements
Here are five goals I would like to successfully accomplish that will propel me into the next level of transformational leadership. The first goal is to be an effective SAM product owner.
The second goal is to lead a team for employee engagement. The third goal is to lead, coach and engage talent. The fourth goal is to exhibits courage when changing the culture. My fifth goal is to demonstrate diversity and inclusion. SMARTER Model
When goal setting you want to make sure that the goals will have information that will help one to excel personally and professionally. If a goal is vague, it can be difficult for leaders to motivate their employees to complete the task at hand. According to Ogbeiwi (2021), a well

formulated goal has three functions. The first function is to provide a framework for planning strategy to complete a task. The second function is to create and monitor benchmarks for quality and progress of the implementation. The third and final function is to have tools in place to evaluate the relevance and values and effectiveness of the work being done. As a leader to ensure that you have developed effective goals there is a method that will help in the development phase. The SMARTER method is a mnemonic why to ensure your goals
will show the validity and is viable. The acronym SMARTER means, specific, measurable, attainable, result focused, time-bound, evaluated, and rewarded (Sosik & Jung, 2018). Utilizing this model will assist leaders to ensure the path forward is attainable. Applying the SMARTER model to the goals that I previously drafted will provide better explanation and set expectations. My first goal is to be the Smart Assistant Manager (SAM) product owner. SAM is the name of the project that I am on. To be the product owner is for me to successfully manage and implement a self-service web-based tool. As the product owner I will need to create analytics to measure the usability of the tool and monitor customer satisfaction. The second goal is to assist with employee engagement events. Employee engagement events helps to create an environment where employees are engaged and feels a sense of comradery, and support. In order to gauge how engaged employees are about some events I will need to create surveys, and suggestions from the employees.
The third goal I have created for myself is to lead, coach, and engages talent. This goal is utilized to ensure employees feel respected, engaged and inspired. This is a hard goal to measure so it will need to have some specifics around what needs to be developed. What can inspire one person may not inspire someone else. This goal is where I would need to make sure employees suggestions are heard and give them an opportunity to develop a plan to pilot their ideas.

“Carter Cleaning Company”
The Career Planning Program
Career planning has always been a pretty low-priority item for Carter Cleaning, since "just getting workers to come to work and then keeping them honest is enough of a problem," as Jack likes to say. Yet Jennifer thought it might not be a bad idea to give some thought to what a career planning program might involve for Carter. Many of their employees had been with them for years in dead end jobs, and she frankly felt a little badly for them: "Perhaps we could help them gain a better perspective on what they want to do," she thought. And she definitely believed that the store management group needed better career direction if Carter Cleaning was to develop and grow.
Question:
1. Outline and describe the career development program you would propose for the cleaners, pressers, counter people, and managers at the Carter Cleaning Centers.
