One of the topics in the book that I thought I would completely disagree with is Don’t Set Goals.

I love to set goals, and I encourage my team to set goals. It’s been ingrained in me since I was a youngster that achievement is where it’s at. Once I hit this goal, I need to set a new one and reach higher, and higher, and higher.

But W. Randall Jones shares another great way: Instead of goals, seek incremental improvement every day. Instead of success being a series of goals, instead it’s a lifetime of improvement.

I get it now…and I think this is key for managers. Once your folks achieve a level of competency where they can do their job in their sleep, instead of setting goals that may be unrelated to their job, or aiming at something new, instead focus on doing a little better each day.

Combine this with some more great advice in the back of this chapter (Goals are great, but execution is essential) and you have a powerful lesson for managers…and for those seeking great wealth.

And there are 11 other chapters in the book worth exploring too!
