Short Term Goals Analysis

Introduction All long term goals are achieved by accomplishing a series of short term goals. In this SLP, I will analyze three of my most important short term goals and why they are important to my future. For each goal I will explain what skills and knowledge I will need in order to accomplish them. Also, I will explain how I plan to keep myself accountable for each and how those goals will be measured. So let us take a look at the first goal, becoming a trainer for new employees.
Goal 1 of 3 My organization is constantly in a cycle of processing through new employees. As a result, there are not enough experienced employees to train all the new trainees. One of my short term goals is to become of the Item Manager trainers. This is important …show more content…
This is important to me because I was always shy and was hesitant to ask for help in fear of bothering somebody. I think it would be beneficial to others like me to have a group of known mentors for new employees to be matched up with to give them advice and help at work. It connects with my personal values because I always want to make my work environment more efficient to support the war fighter. Some of the older journeyman are getting close to retirement and unless they share their knowledge with the younger employees, we will be losing a wealth of knowledge and experience that we will not be able to replace.

We are about to get a few new employees in our area so I would like to have the program started before the end of the month. “A coach that demonstrates patience and persistence can help an employee master certain tasks; develop a high level of self-esteem and job satisfaction; and can increase motivation of employees by providing an inspiring work environment” (Pantall, 2012).

This is such an important goal to me because I feel the need to put my leadership skills, degree and experience to better use and make a difference in the squadron while obviously getting a better paycheck. This connects with my personal values because I know I will be able to positively influence employee’s lives while also being an incredible asset to the Air Force. I will count every interview as a small success because they will just better prepare me for the next interview I go on until I get the job I really want. Although I hope to achieve the promotion by the end of the year, I will apply for every opening I see for that position in USAJobs and prepare my best for each interview. Once I finish up this Master’s degree program and take a few more supervisor based classes the only other thing I can think to do to improve my chances of getting the job are to participate in some interview practices and resume workshops. In order to achieve this goal I need to take more leadership and mentoring training courses that would help me as a future supervisor. I have learned so many things not to do from my current supervisor. “One of the worst situations that a leader can get into is to get all the facts wrong” (Clark, 2010). I have learned this first hand from a supervisor that does not like to listen. This motivates me to become a supervisor so that I can ensure people are being heard and
