Are you struggling to see the results of your hard work? Setting up SMART goals will help you reach the goals.
SMART goals use a specific set of criteria to help ensure that objectives are clearly defined and attainable within a certain timeframe.
When planning out how you want to execute your goals, you should make sure they are:
☝🏾S - Specific/Significant For a goal to be effective, it needs to be specific.
☝🏾M - Meaningful/Measurable Quantifying your goals (making sure they’re measurable) makes it easier to track progress and know when you’ve reached the finish line.
☝🏾A - Attainable/Action-oriented Goals should be realistic — not pedestals from which you inevitably tumble. Ask yourself: is your objective something your team can reasonably accomplish?
☝🏾R - Rewarding/Relevant Your goal should be relevant to the reason you are setting it. Ask yourself why are you setting the goal that you’re setting?
☝🏾T - Time-bound/Trackable To properly measure success, you and your team need to be on the same page about when a goal has been reached. What’s your time horizon? When will the team start creating and implementing the tasks they’ve identified? When will they finish?
