為團隊設定目標是確保整個專案順利進行的第一步,每個人都了解自己的角色並合作實現共同目標。但當談到延伸目標時,情況就不同了。
Employers are likely to use stretch goals to exceed employees’ current abilities and resources and increase performance twice or triple. Besides positive benefits, stretch goals might raise plenty of negative outcomes. Thus, in this article, we try to figure out the best way to build stretch goals in the business landscape by providing real-world examples. Let’s check out the top 延伸目標的例子 以及如何避免負面後果!

什麼是延伸目標?
Rather than setting ordinary targets that employees can achieve easily within their reach, employers sometimes set more ambitious and difficult challenges, which are called stretch goals, also known as management moonshots. They are inspired by the “moonshot” missions like landing a man on the moon, which require innovation, collaboration, and a willingness to take risks.
This can help to stretch employees out of the limit and make them strive harder than they might have with more humble aims. Because employees are pushed hard, they try to think big, more innovatively, and achieve more. This is a basis for leading to breakthrough performance and innovation. An example of stretch goals is an increase of 60% in sales revenue compared to the previous year, sound possible, but an increase of 120% is likely out of reach.

如果你的團隊壓力太大怎麼辦?
Like a double-edged sword, stretch goals showcase many disadvantages for both employees and employers. They can cause more harm than good when used in inappropriate situations. According to Michael Lawless and Andrew Carton, stretch goals are not only widely misunderstood but widely misused. Here are some negative examples of stretch goals’ effect in the workplace.

增加員工的壓力
Stretch goals, if set unrealistically high or without proper consideration of employees’ capacities, can lead to increased stress levels. When employees perceive the goals as unattainable or overly challenging, it can result in heightened anxiety, and 倦怠, and negatively impact mental well-being. In addition, employees under constant pressure may find it difficult to remember details and information crucial to their tasks or stay focused on a single task for an extended period. The pressure to constantly exceed expectations may create a hostile work environment and affect overall 工作滿意度.

作弊行為
The pursuit of stretch goals can sometimes lead to unethical behaviors as employees may feel compelled to resort to shortcuts or dishonest practices to meet the targets. The intense pressure to achieve ambitious objectives might encourage individuals to compromise on integrity, potentially engaging in actions that could harm the company’s reputation or violate ethical standards.
向員工提供回饋的高壓力頻率
對管理者來說,提供有關延伸目標績效的回饋可能會成為一項壓力很大的任務。當目標設定在極具挑戰性的層面時,管理者可能會發現自己經常提供負面回饋。這可能會導致員工與經理的關係緊張,抑制 有效溝通,並使回饋過程更具懲罰性而不是建設性。員工可能會士氣低落,導致士氣和生產力下降。

延伸目標的現實例子
延伸目標通常帶有兩個關鍵概念:極為困難或極為新穎。過去一些大公司的成功鼓勵越來越多的公司使用延伸目標作為陷入困境的創新策略的復甦或轉型。然而,並不是所有的人都成功了,他們中的許多人都孤注一擲地嘗試尋求突破。在這一部分中,我們將介紹積極和消極方法中延伸目標的現實範例。

達維塔
延伸目標的最佳例子是 DaVita 及其在 2011 年的突破。這家腎臟護理公司設定的目標是從根本上提高一系列流程的效率和有效性。
For example: “Generate $60 million to $80 million in savings within four years while maintaining positive patient outcomes and employee satisfaction”.
It sounded impossible target for the team at that time but it did happen. By 2015, the company had reached $60 million and was projected to hit $75 million the following year, while there was a significant increase in patient hospitalization rates and employee satisfaction.
Another great example of stretch goals in product development and technology to look at is Google. Google is known for its ambitious “moonshot” projects and stretch goals, pushing the boundaries of technology and aiming for seemingly impossible achievements. When starting working for Google, all new employees have to learn about the company’s 10x philosophy: “通常情況下,[大膽的]目標往往會吸引最優秀的人才並創造最令人興奮的工作環境……遠大的目標是取得長期卓越成就的基石。” 這一理念導致了 Google 地圖、街景和 Gmail 的創建。
谷歌延伸目標的另一個例子通常與 OKR(目標和關鍵結果)相關,該目標由其創始人於 1999 年使用。例如:
- 主要結果 1: 下一季月活躍用戶數增加 20%。
- 主要結果 2(延伸目標): 透過新功能的推出,用戶參與度提高了 30%。
特斯拉
An example of stretch goals in production by Tesla is an illustration of overly ambitious and too many in limited time. In the past decade, Elon Musk has set many stretch targets for their employees with more than 20 projections, but only a few are fulfilled.
- 汽車生產:特斯拉將在500,000 年組裝2018 萬輛汽車,比先前宣布的閃電計畫提前了兩年,並且到2020 年將這一數量增加一倍。然而,該公司367,500 年的汽車產量低於2018 輛,達到了約50 年的2020 輛。 3年交付量的XNUMX%。伴隨著XNUMX年數千名員工的大幅裁員。
- 特斯拉半掛卡車 2017 年宣布開發並於 2019 年生產,但已多次推遲,至今仍未開始交付。
雅虎
雅虎在2012年左右失去了市場份額和地位。擔任雅虎執行長的瑪麗莎·梅耶爾(Marissa Mayer)表示,她在業務和銷售方面的雄心勃勃的目標是要奪回雅虎在四大巨頭中的地位——“讓一家標誌性的公司回來”走向偉大。”
例如,她的目標是 “achieve double-digit annual growth in five years and eight additional highly challenging targets”然而,僅實現了其中兩項目標,該公司報告 2015 年虧損 4.4 億美元。
星巴克
延伸目標的一個很好的例子是星巴克,它不斷努力提高客戶滿意度,同時推動員工敬業度、營運效率和業務成長。過去幾年,星巴克推行了許多延伸目標,分別是:
- 將顧客在結帳處的等待時間減少 20%。
- 將客戶滿意度分數提高 10%。
- Achieve a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 70 or higher (considered “excellent”).
- Fill online orders within 2 hours (or less) consistently.
- 將貨架上的缺貨(缺貨)率降低至 5% 以下。
- 將商店和配送中心的能源消耗減少 15%。
- 將再生能源的使用增加到總能源需求的 20%。
- 減少 30% 送往垃圾掩埋場的廢棄物。
透過出色地實現這些目標,星巴克成為零售業中最具創新性和以客戶為中心的公司之一。儘管面臨經濟挑戰和消費者偏好的變化,但它每年都在持續成長。
何時應該追求延伸目標
您是否想過為什麼有些人在擴展目標方面可能會成功,而有些人卻失敗了? 《哈佛商業評論》的專家得出結論,影響延伸目標如何建立和實現的兩個關鍵因素是近期績效和閒置資源。

最近沒有積極業績或增加和閒置資源的公司可能無法從延伸目標中受益,反之亦然。自滿的組織可能會透過超越當前目標來獲得高額回報,儘管這也可能伴隨著風險。
在顛覆性技術和商業模式的時代,成功且資源充足的組織需要透過設定延伸目標來探索巨大的變化,而上述的延伸目標的例子就是明確的證明。請注意,實現延伸目標不僅取決於雇主的管理,還取決於所有團隊成員的個人努力和合作。當員工更有可能看到機會而不是威脅時,他們更有可能更努力地實現目標。
