Targets: Are Mourinho’s goals ACED?
Do Mourinho’s goals match up to my criteria (ACED) for successful performance targets?
He was quoted in the Daily Telegraph of 16 March 2010 “I have three things to do in my career: to come back to English football, to win the Spanish championship because no one has won the Italian, English and Spanish titles and, when I am old, to coach my national team. But, for now, I would like to keep winning with Inter.”
My answer is yes because they are actionable, coherent, effective and developmental.
Here are two other statements of goals. Are they also ACED? What do you think?
Schumpeter, an Austrian economist, in the twentieth century, had three goals. To be the best economist, the best horseback rider and the best lover of his generation.
Abigal Clancy was quoted in 2006, as having three goals. To marry a footballer, get pregnant and then shop and have fun for the rest of her life.

[...] Understand current processes. But the point is to change, rather than map them. So look for bottlenecks, silo working, complexity, information and waste. But remember ACED. [...]
