SMART goals are:
S- Specific.
M- Measurable.
A- Achievable. You shouldn’t place unrealistic demands on yourself, and remember to take account of other demands on your time and factors that may affect achievement.
R- Relevant/Realistic. Any goal should be aligned with your individual responsibilities and accountabilities as well as your own aspirations.
T- Time-referenced. Time limits help with the measurement of the goal’s progress.
| S | Improve people management skills by completing “Ensure Team Effectiveness”
course. |
| M | Complete the course, and at the end of the year assess my own skills (have I improved?). |
| A | The course can be completed over one night a week for ten weeks, which I can fit in. |
| R | The course is relevant to where I want to go in the future, and the organization needs a base of people with effective people management skills. |
| T | The course is set for July – mid September. This is a short-term goal. |
