So let's cut to the chase!
What is SMART goal setting?
S M A R T is a mnemonic used in management.
S M A R T is a way to evaluate that the objectives for a particular
project are relevant and appropriate for that project.
S M A R T Objectives are an integral part of Management By
Objectives (MBO). Management by objectives has been used
extensively by managers as a planning tool. It is a process by
which managers and employees work together and agree on
specific and defined objectives for a particular project. This
process ensures that both managers and employees agree on and
are committed to the project outcomes.
The origin of the term S M A R T objectives is unknown, however,
Peter Drucker in his 1954 book "The Practice of Management"
outlined a system that was very similar to S M A R T objectives as
part of his discussion on Management by Objectives (MBO).
The process of writing S M A R T objectives or smart goal setting
has become a business management tool used extensively for
project management and also for performance appraisal
purposes.

Learning how to write and use SMART goal setting is a skill you
definitely want to ma ster
if you want to be successful in YOUR life and in YOUR business!
