These are things that employees know how  to do and have typically done before. They are not necessarily easy, but  they are familiar. The advantage of functional goals is they allow  employees to contribute to the organization by focusing on important but  familiar tasks. The disadvantage is they do not push employees to grow  and develop new capabilities. People who have too many functional goals  may feel as if they are stuck in a rut, doing the same things over and  over. • Self-focused development goals are low in organizational value  but high in development value. The advantage of these goals is they  allow employees to take developmental risks since failure will not have a  major negative impact on the business. The disadvantage is that  employees may never get around to these goals since they are not  important to the organization. This quadrant is sometimes referred to as  the “books I want to read” or “classes I keep hoping to take” section  of someone’s goal plan. Doing the Right Things 139
