A goal is: The
end towards
which effort is
directed.
Goals are
dreams and
wants except
a goal is more
specific.

A Goal

4.
07/17/144
• To give you something
that you want to
enhance your life in
some way, so the most
important thing you
need to know about
goals is that you ought
to have some.
The Purpose of Goals

5.
Types of Goals
07/17/145
• Long Term Goals:
10-year, 5-year and 1-
year goals
• Short Term Goals:
goals for the next 9
months, 6 months and 3
months
• Immediate Goals:
1-30 days from now

6.
Smart Goals
07/17/146
• Specific goals will help
you focus your efforts.
For example, a non-
specific goal is “I will do
better academically.” A
specific goal is “I will
improve my writing
skills by going to the
writing center.”

7.
Measurable Goals
07/17/147
• Measurable goals
include clear criteria to
measure your progress.
• For example, a
measurable goal may be
to “Attend a study
group every Tuesday
night for the next five
weeks.”

8.
Attainable Goals.
07/17/148
Before setting a goal to
run a marathon, you may
want to set a goal to run
five miles.
If you set goals which feel
too far out of reach, it
may be difficult for you to
commit to the goal in the
long term

9.
Relevant / Realistic goals
07/17/149
Relevant goals are realistic but
will still push you to grow. Such
goals are challenging but not
overwhelming.
For example, an unrealistic goal
would be to never eat sweets
again. A realistic goal is to eat
dessert only one day per week

10.
Time-Bound Goals
07/17/1410
Being time-bound
means that you set a
set frame for your
goal.
 Your goal is for the
next day, week, year,
or five years.

Setting Goals & Then
Walking Away
07/17/1412

13.
Setting A “HOW” Goal
Instead Of A “WHAT” Goal
07/17/1413
Goals should indicate
“what” is to be
accomplished—the
end in mind—not
“how” it should be
accomplished

14.
Ways to Improve Goal
Setting
07/17/1414
Approach goal-setting as a
partnership
This is something to be done
in partnership with your
team member.
So the manager needs to
know what the
employee’s key areas of
responsibility are, what is
expected in the role, and
what they want to see in
terms of performance.
The key is to have that

15.
Make sure the goal is
SMART (or SMMART).
07/17/1415
Anytime you set a goal, objective, or an
assignment, you need to make sure
that it meets the simple SMART
criteria (Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Relevant, and Time-
bound).
Hester also believes that there should be a
second “M” in the SMART acronym to
account for employee Motivation.
This means the manager needs to
additionally ask, “What is it about this
goal that is motivating? What
difference does it make in the
organization, or to the team, or to the
individual employee?”

end," she said. "Just
go along the line
and pick out what
you want. At the
other end they'll
tell you how much
you have to pay."

how everything
works in America,"

cafeteria here. You
can get anything you
want as long as you
are willing to pay the
price.

You can even get success, but you'll never get it if
