The bad news – one piece of the goal setting puzzle many of these systems don’t tackle, or do so inadequately, is the issue of goal size. These goals have been labeled by Jim Collins (and others) as a BHAG – a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal. Target B – This is a big, but potentially believable goal.

I know how often leaders say they want to tackle BHAGs — “big hairy audacious goals.” It’s a trap to think you can go it alone, without a support system and without supporting others. It’s one thing to be realistic, it’s another to behave like a loser before entering the game. Do-it-yourself-ing.
