Resumo(s)
Stretch goal setting is a process involving multiple and nested paradoxes. The paradoxical side of
stretch is attractive because it holds great promise yet dangerous because it triggers processes that are
hard to control. Paradoxes are not readily managed by assuming a linear relation between the here
and now and the intended future perfect. Before adopting stretch goal setting, managers should thus
be prepared for the tensions and contradictions created by nested or interwoven paradoxes.
Achieving stretch goals can be as difficult for the managers seeking to direct the process as for
designated delegates. While the increasing popularity of stretch goal setting is understandable, its
unexpected consequences must be taken into account. The inadequate use of stretch goals can
jeopardize the social sustainability of organizations as well as their societal support systems.
