But goals don&#39;t exist in isolation. They&#39;re pursued by people working within teams, organizations, and systems that can either enable performance or make it much harder.</p><p>In this episode of the ScienceForWork podcast, host Matt Lampe, PsyD, talks with Michelle Riconscente, PhD, educational psychologist and CEO and co-founder of Valutare, about what the science of goal pursuit can teach us about creating the conditions for people to succeed.</p><p>Michelle draws on research from across psychology and organizational science to move the conversation beyond simply writing better goals and toward a broader view of performance enablement.</p><p>In this conversation, Michelle and Matt explore:</p><ul><li><p>Why understanding the context behind a goal can matter as much as the goal itself</p></li><li><p>How greater clarity about what success looks like can improve goal pursuit</p></li><li><p>Why persistence isn&#39;t always the right response when circumstances change</p></li><li><p>What managers commit to when goals are treated as a two-way street</p></li><li><p>Why organizations may need to think differently about goals for execution versus exploration</p></li><li><p>How goal setting fits into a larger system for enabling people and organizations to succeed</p></li></ul><p><strong>More from Michelle:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Valutare: <a href="https://valutare.ai">valutare.ai</a></p></li></ul><p>Enjoying the ScienceForWork podcast?
