Final Answer :

Explanation :
The Galatea effect is a self-fulfilling prophecy where an individual's performance is influenced by their beliefs about their own abilities. By setting a goal to develop an award-winning plan, George is establishing high expectations for himself and is more likely to put in the effort to achieve that goal.
