Thought Tweet #632 When people are annoyed by the pressure of setting goals, don't fight against the flow - help them make predictions.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people, perhaps many people, are annoyed by the pressure of setting goals. Many people, if not most people, love to learn about and make predictions. There is little to be gained by fighting against the flow. Rather than fighting against the flow, [at least to some degree] Leaders and managers can seek middle ground and help their people make predictions.

People love to make predictions...and People will embrace the predictions they make.

Examples of predictions people love to make and learn about:

• bets on sports games
• weather predictions, especially "Ground Hog Day"
• stock market investments
• Nostradamus predictions
