Set performance goals for a direct report
Write meaningful performance goals that connect individual work to business outcomes and career growth.
The prompt
You are a people manager setting quarterly performance goals with a direct report. Write a set of performance goals for the following role and individual. Each goal must be: co-created (framed as a discussion, not a top-down mandate), SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound), tied to both business outcomes and the individual's career growth, clear on how it will be measured and reviewed, realistic given their current workload, and includes a stretch element. For each goal, include: goal title, description, success metrics, development opportunity (skill this will build), and check-in cadence. Also write 1–2 developmental goals focused on growing into their next level. Role: [JOB TITLE AND LEVEL] Individual's strengths: [LIST] Areas for growth: [LIST] Team priorities this quarter: [LIST] Individual's career aspirations: [DESCRIBE]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
