This is a Google Notebook LM (https://notebooklm.google.com) Audio Overview (i.e., "deep dive" discussion) of "Exploring goal‐setting as a tool for leadership development" (Kaufman et al., 2008), published within the Journal of Leadership Studies. This study investigated goal-setting theory within a leadership development program for volunteer board members of a nonprofit organization. The research used a survey to measure goal attributes like specificity and difficulty and their relationship to self-reported performance in adopting best practices. Key findings indicated that goal specificity, goal commitment, and self-efficacy positively correlated with performance, but the expected positive effect of goal difficulty was not supported, suggesting a difference from corporate settings. The study concluded that goal-setting is a valuable tool in this context, but recommended further research, especially to address the unexpected influence of gender and improve measurement instruments.
