360-degree goal-setting helps you set holistic goals by bringing together the three facets of BIGG success – personal, professional, and financial success.
Labor Day signals the end of summer. Fall is upon us. It’s a great time to get back to work on your goals. We talk about 360-degree goal-setting in this episode on The BIGG Success Show. Here’s a summary of that discussion…
A new school year has started. There’s an energy in the air. A desire for self-improvement, which peaks around this time of year.
It’s time to get back to work – on your goals.
September is the new January. It’s a great time to reboot your goals. Get a jump on the official New Year. Let’s talk about 360-degree goal setting.
The three facets of 360-degree goal-setting
The three facets of BIGG success are personal success, professional success, and financial success. 360-degree goal-setting considers all three areas simultaneously.
Picture them on a triangle. Personal is at the top. Professional and financial success take a position at the base of the triangle, with professional success on the left side and financial success on the right side.
A lot of attractive people complain that people assume things about them without getting to know them. It’s assumed that they’re unintelligent, superficial, and even arrogant.
You’ve been given the gift of physical attractiveness, which has to mean you’re lacking in other areas. In the social world, you’re just the pretty boy or girl.
But does that perception carry over into the professional world? Is there a bias against people who are good-looking?
Two of the groups never saw a photo of the candidate or the candidates themselves
The other three either saw the candidate’s photograph or in-person.
The groups who saw the candidates were much more likely to hire the more attractive candidate, even though the less attractive candidate was just as qualified.
These employers predicted that the attractive candidates would be more productive, and would be rewarded for it with higher pay.
Even Greener Pastures Daniel Hamermesh, an economist at the University of Texas, is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the economics of beauty. Dr. Hamermesh has focused on how beauty effects financial success in the workplace.
His research confirms the results of the study we just referenced – that beauty gains an advantage because the doors of opportunity open more frequently. So they make connections, learn skills, and grow professionally. Then they’re able to leverage that first opportunity into many more opportunities, which results in even higher pay.
He also offers little hope for the unattractive. His research has shown that spending money on things to enhance your looks is a waste. You’ll only get back about 15 cents in pay for ever dollar you spend.
Our bigg quote today is by an unknown author:
“We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”
The more colors you have, the more colorful your world can be.
Questions for you Socially, we often hear pretty people complain that they’re discriminated against. But research seems to show that it works to their favor in the workplace.
From your experiences, do you think good looks are an advantage or a disadvantage?
Is there a difference between men and women? Are good looks more important in the workplace for men or for women?
How about age? Is this something you think affects young people more than older workers or vice versa?
What do you think of Dr. Hamermesh’s finding that it doesn’t pay to try to package yourself better? Do you think it makes a difference?
