Reverse Engineering Goals for Your Team: A Strategic Approach

The speaker emphasizes the importance of reverse engineering goals for the team by painting a picture of success and desired outcomes. They suggest setting a specific number of courses that embed career readiness and determining the number of potential collaborators needed to achieve that goal. They acknowledge that not everyone will say yes or buy into the idea, but it is important to make a hypothesis and start working towards it. The speaker also mentions that there are two parts to reverse engineering goals: getting the team tracked and pacing and deciding how to spend time within that framework. They prompt the listener to establish goals and determine when they are supposed to be met, while also emphasizing the need for informed hypotheses that can be tested.
