SMART Goal and Pygmalion Effect

“I recommend that you focus on both substance and process of your goals. I believe that both are equally important: by setting a high-quality SMART goal you will enable yourself to be conscious and your actions will carry more meaning; meanwhile, it is the execution of the SMART goals strategy that separates achievers from the rest of the people.” 
― Anna Stevens, Turn Your Dreams And Wants Into Achievable SMART Goals!
The above quote in itself speaks about the importance of setting smart goals.

Today's class was all about setting SMART goals.We were all expecting another surprising element out of Dr. Mandi's bag.This time it was a snail shell.Now this shell has a lot to tell us.It was handed out to each one of us,to observe it.

The thing that we realized out of this shell was it's SPIRAL form.
"GOALS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SET SPIRALLY"

Economic Time also used the same concept to show how its business grew spirally.Now this all is based on the concept of Fibonacci Series.We all have the potential to set spirally growing goals and achieve them.Even our Finger prints support it.

This is how the goals should always be set.The Higher you set the goals,the more you thrive to achieve it.

Goal Set * Goal Achieved = Performance

Goal Set should always be higher then Goal Achieved.If Goal Achieved is higher than Goal Set,then that means you have undermined your potential.Dr. Mandi explained us the graph which would explain the relation between Goal Set,Potential,Goal Achieved and History(Previous Achievement)

                        A- Goal Set
                        B- Potential
                        C- Goal Achieved
                        D- Previous Achievement






This concept explaining Higher expectations leads to Higher results was derived from Pygmalion.This was a play be  George Bernard Shaw. 

So what does Pygmalion effect say?
Pygmalion Effect : How we perceive others,positively or negatively could have a big impact on their performance level.
