Setting goals is harder than you think.

In this episode, Ben Carcich is joined by Melissa Phillips, founder of Games Leadership, to dive deep into a topic that leaders often approach with little understanding: goal setting. From a professional perspective, goal setting is about helping people find fulfillment in what they are doing. Melissa discusses how goals have evolved from a basic survival need to a more complicated, individualistic pursuit.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why money is a terrible goal
The problem with only having giant goals
The importance of celebrating small wins
A surprisingly effective way to find your true goals
Why communicating goals to others matters
The reality of your changing goals

A successful game begins with better processes. This conversation is a great example of the mindset we teach at Building Better Games.
