Discuss the components of SMART goals and provide an example.
What will be an ideal response?
SMART means specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and time-based.
Specific: A specific goal has been shown to be more motivating than a “do your best”
goal. Measurable: Set concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of
each goal. Actionable: Goals need to be challenging, but they also need to be seen as
attainable by the person setting them. Relevant: The goal you set needs to matter--to
the individual setting it and/or the organization. Time Based: To be motivating, goals
should have a specific time frame. For example, a not-so-smart goal would be the
following: “Improve your punctuality.” In comparison, an example of a SMART goal
would be as follows: “Be at work by 8:30 a.m. every day this month because everyone
being at work on time contributes to our team’s productivity.”
