Coaches and consultants alike encourage clients to set goals. A useful acronym in this regard is that for a goal to be an effective benchmark, it needs to be “SMART”.
SMART stands for the following five points:
- A goal must be Specific
- It must be Measurable
- it must be Achievable
- A goal needs to be Realistic
- There must be a specific Time within which the goal will be achieved
Next time you set forth your goals, remembered to make them SMART ones.
