You must have heard of the process oriented or goal oriented type. Between these two types, which type are you? You must be curious...
An easy way to find out, people usually make an analogy with travel vs destination. What do you mean? Gini. When going on a tourist trip, process-oriented people place more emphasis on enjoyment during their trip. For them, comfort and fun while traveling must be considered. So it is not surprising that for this type of person, no matter how far it is, they will always try to enjoy the journey. In short, the journey is more important than the destination.
In contrast to people who are goal oriented, this type is more concerned with their destination. Whatever the method, even though it might be inconvenient, as long as it can take him to the destination he wants to go to, they don't mind. Another characteristic of people with a goal-oriented character is that they tend to want the fastest way to their destination.
These two characters also apply in the business world. It is very important to know which one you are, so that it can better help you in solving problems that you may experience in business. Now, let's find out whether you are process oriented or goal oriented.
1. Process Oriented
This type really prioritizes processes over goals. You still have dreams of achieving your goals, but you don't have to sacrifice the process. In your mind, you only have an idea of how to achieve that goal, and the "how" is a meaningful thing for people who are process oriented.
In the business world, you are a reliable executor. You are also a very disciplined person, and consistent in building systems and structures. You are also good at building strong teams and supporting each other. Process oriented people don't like conflict and always try to make things work as they should.
But don't be happy just yet. People who are process oriented also have weaknesses. Sometimes they can be too focused and get carried away with the process of achieving their goals. You are so complacent that you become 'stuck' on how to do it correctly so that sometimes you miss your initial goal.
However, process-oriented people often discover many new things on their journey, because their attention is never focused on just one particular goal. So it's not uncommon for them to not mind changing their destination, if that is what they think is better than their initial goal.
Then, what should you do? For those of you who have the process oriented type, what you must do is create a pleasant process that will lead you to the goals you dream of. But you also have to remember the main goal you want to achieve. Don't get carried away with the process. Also set a time target that you must adhere to, so that even if changes occur, the changes will not be too far from the goal you want to target.
The business fields that can be pursued by people who are process oriented include businesses that require creativity and quick adaptation. For example, culinary or cooking, art, work, video, advertising, broadcasting, education, content creators, and jobs that require certain skills, such as contractors, carpenters, architects, etc.
2. Goal Oriented
The type of person who is goal-oriented has a mindset that wants to be appreciated, especially for the work he has done. The majority of people with this mindset will think that work is an incentive to keep them going.
Don't think like this, don't think that they don't respect the process, BossQ. They will still appreciate the process. However, this type looks more like "Achiever". Even when they are in a meeting, they will always focus on the meeting objectives and will not close the meeting if the meeting objectives have not been met. That is right?
People of this type also like to think. Every idea he thinks of often can't wait to be realized immediately. Yes, people with a cave-oriented type really want to achieve their goals relatively quickly. In fact, he doesn't mind if he encounters discomfort in the process of achieving that goal. Pens or paper are mandatory items to carry everywhere. Think, who knows, you might find other ideas along the way.
Not only that, goal oriented types also enjoy winning. When they successfully carry out a project, they only appreciate the process. However, if they smell 'failure' on the project, it will be easier for them to drop, get emotional and force the team to immediately achieve its goals. Your focus becomes narrow to achieve the objectives you want, whatever it takes. Starting from research, re-analysis, even changing the target you want to achieve.
Too rigid and quick to make decisions that have been thought through is also a weakness of people who have the goal oriented type. These quick decisions are needed to achieve goals more quickly. When he fails, he will look for other important alternative paths to reach the goal he set in the first place. He also has no problem keeping trying until he finds the best way to achieve his dreams.
When they are too focused on achieving their goals, they are not aware of the small 'sharp pebbles' that are lurking around. Not infrequently the gravel comes from oneself. The gravel happened because they were tired.
Therefore, when you start to feel tired, try to start paying attention to the process. For example, when you are physically and mentally exhausted on your project, try to find what drives you and start incorporating it into the process to re-energize you. The method can be done in many ways, starting from studying, presenting and writing.
What kind of business is suitable for those of you who have a goal-oriented personality? Yup, it turns out that BossQ can try to become a Stock Broker, an expert in the field of IT and technology, related to medicine, pharmacy, business services or consulting services, and all businesses related to exact fields and demanding high accuracy.
You may be wondering, do people who have a process oriented personality not prioritize goals? Not really, you know. Both prioritize goals, but their way of thinking is different. Where people who are goal oriented will fight and act to achieve their goals. Meanwhile, process-oriented people struggle and act more for improvement and improvement. Without realizing it, they both spent their lives to achieve the dreams they formed themselves.
So, what is the importance of making goals? In essence, without goals, there will be no process. When a goal has been formed, once you know where you are going, you will focus on how you will achieve it. Try to pay attention to your goals, occasionally look back to make sure whether what you are doing is going according to plan. But don't forget to also pay attention to whether the process you have gone through has made your business grow or not.
So, both process oriented and goal oriented are equally important. There is nothing more right or wrong. Depends on which field and in which position you stand. As a customer-oriented entrepreneur, you certainly have to be goal-oriented. The goal is clear, customer demand. As an entrepreneur building a business, you must be a process oriented person who enjoys the process and is not easily stressed by changes along the way. Emphasizing yourself on important goals, but keeping your eyes open on the journey will actually encourage you to move even more than what you previously planned. What is balanced is indeed the best.
