Hector is interested in using goals in order to motivate his employees. He should remember the following in order to effectively utilize goals: 1) Goals are best set by the leader, regardless of the relevance of the goal to the individual employee. 2) The degree to which a person is committed to a goal influences their willingness to persist and attain it. 3) Easy goals are more motivating than challenging goals. 4) Non-specific goals such as "do your best" are more effective than specific goals.
