Examples of behavioral goals include oral and written communications, peer relationships and partnering, conflict management, and more, as outlined in Yale’s Behavioral Competencies Information Guide. Behavioral goals are for reinforcing positive actions, and for modifying behavior in areas that need refocus, development, or sustained change. The most impactful way to create behavioral goals is to write the desired outcome exactly as it’s meant to be displayed in the workplace. Below are two examples of a staff member’s behavioral goals that support the competencies of both oral and written feedback and conflict management. Sample 1: Increase my email communication effectiveness, and Sample 2: Improve my meeting facilitation skills. Action: In-person and phone communications are collaborative, timely, respectful and effective. This approach will strengthen peer relationships and enhance collaborative efforts across campus, and it will also bring more consistency to how others experience my communication, style, and approach regularly. This improvement will strengthen my leadership effectiveness and credibility with peers, and it will enhance project management efforts forward and enable me to listen more attentively and make others more open to sharing their points of view, supporting innovative thoughts and ideas to come forward.
