Be careful when setting goals. If you alone don't have control over its achievement, do not set it. We all may want to be hired to be the president of the college, but that is decided by the board of trustees; we may do what we can to be prepared, but we have not control over the many factors that affect the position becoming vacant, the alignment of our skills to those thye believe they need, and the absence of bias that leads to someone’s friend being hired.
