How to set goals with people who don’t want to set goals
summary
Three-step process produces three concrete goals and a reusable backlog using Post-it notes or Miro whiteboards: brain dump to pull career and personal ideas out, map each idea to short/medium/long timeline, then shape two or three short-term items into SMART goals (examples: book recurring 1:1s with PMs, join two customer calls by end of July, review three product specs by mid July). Repeat every two to three months and include opportunity‑based goals like leading an incident.
