Setting Clear Goals

Firstly, the crucial concept to address is the importance of clear and ‘smart’ goals, from which stems effective leadership and communication. The issues that I have experienced in Section 1, particularly online communication noise and the lack of cohesion could have been reduced with the clarity of goals, as presented in Everest 2. The clarification of goals is related to an individual’s self-perception and subsequently, self-leadership development as the awareness of the goal prompts ideas on its achievement and further challenging goals (Ross, 2014). Therefore, I have learnt that setting clear goals is pivotal to the success of a situation. I have also realised the positive influences of goal setting not only to the final outcome of the simulation, but also to my own perceptions, …show more content…
Everest 1 and 2 proved that simulations enhance, develop and improve skill and performance, increasing goal achievement. As such, the key issues identified within Everest were analysed with recommendations. The compilation of goals demonstrates the concept of effective democratic leadership and the concept of path-goal theory as well as effective interpersonal communication characterised by respect and openness. In addition, the negative issue of online noise was discovered to arise from limited communication as non-verbal communication was disabled and information overload. Moreover, the lack of cohesion was characterised by inefficient leadership and the noise of lack of knowledge. Furthermore, high levels of engagement in Everest 2 resulted from effective leadership and personal interaction with members. Commissioned recommendations to address and enhance these issues include the importance of clear goal setting, critical reflection and trust generation. Thus, the Everest simulation has allowed for the analysis of key issues and enhanced knowledge that could be taken into the future
