Setting a goal that is one for growth and improvement is good, but just saying 2 when you want it in 4 consistently means your workers know you really want it in 4 and so they will work that speed. If you want to increase their productivity and you currently see the job done in 4, which is by end of day at 5 and you tell them you want the job done and cleaned up by 4:45 and they can then call it a day, it's a much more effective method, and will allow you to move the goalposts down the road. Anyway, leadership fundamentals and theory aren't the topic of the thread.

Many call the leadership tool Stretch Goals and whether it is "crappy leadership" or not is open to debate. They do serve a function and you can only state it is "crappy" if you know the motivations of the persons that are given the goal(s).
