Great FC article. I hadn't heard that. Funny enough that you mention Covey's book (which is great) in the same article as the Yale debunk...I just went to FranklinCovey's FOCUS workshop a couple weeks ago, and our facilitator cited the study during the goal-setting portion of the training. Delicious irony. The thing that bothers me about the Fast Company article--which is interesting in itself, and this is not a slam on FC, because I love their Consultant Debunking Unit features--is it doesn't mention whether similar studies have ever been done elsewhere, and makes no attempt to clarify if, in fact, evidence exists to contradict the study.
