First of all – what is SMART?

5. Here’s what we mean by
SMART
• Specific – set a definitive goal, backed up
by numbers
• Measurable – tie your goal to a unit of
measurement
• Achievable – avoid over-ambition
• Realistic – make sure you can hit your
target with the resources you have
• Time-bound – set deadlines!

6. Good (and bad) practice
• “Generate a great deal of interest, and
encourage lots of students to get involved
with Team Up in the coming year.”
– Smart? NO!
• “Achieve 50 signups for Team Up’s email
list by 12 noon on Day 1 of Freshers Fair.”
– Smart? YES!

7. Innovation is encouraged!
• Merit and Distinction will be awarded to
those who explore new ways to meet and
exceed targets
• Example: Secretary’s target for
Communications – 3 new Twitter followers
a week
• What methods other than just telling
friends to follow us could they employ?

8. What if I miss targets?

9. Pivot!
Principle of Leadership No. 5 – missing
initial targets can be learnt from provided
that:
• Reasons why targets were missed were
flagged up in your status reports
• Evaluate, compose a plan of action, and
then execute it!
• It will reflect particularly well on you if initial
shortfalls are learnt from, and rectified

10. Finalised targets

succeed in meeting
and exceeding your
