I agree with the SMART goal philosophy but would take a different viewpoint on one of your recommendations - that of keeping goals short and sweet. Concise, clear goals are critical, but if they're too short and not specific enough, they end up being vague: "Make Q2 profit targets" - this is a goal, but you don't know how you're going to go about doing it, which makes it less likely for success. In this blog post, http://www.emergenetics.com/fundamentals-set-goals, I argue that a good goal takes 5 key elements: Who, What, When, How and Conditions (that which is contingent for the goal's completion). Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks, Mark E. Miller Director of Marketing Emergenetics International Nice post on the importance and how-to on goals.
