How to best write smart goals

View answer

To write SMART goals effectively, follow these steps:

1. Specific: Make your goal clear and well-defined. Vague or generalized goals are unhelpful because they don't provide sufficient direction.

2. Measurable: Include precise amounts, dates, and so on in your goals so you can measure your degree of success.

3. Achievable: Make sure that it's possible to achieve the goals you set. While you should push yourself, don't set goals that are impossible to reach.

4. Relevant: Your goals should be relevant to the direction you want your life or career to take. By keeping goals aligned with this, you'll develop the focus you need to get ahead.

5. Time-bound: Your goals must have a deadline. This means that you know when you can celebrate success.

Remember to review your goals regularly to ensure they are still relevant and that you're on track to achieve them.

Case study

Credit Union Australia

When David Gee became Chief Information officer for Credit Union Australia, he shared his experience in an article published on "CIO.com."

"On day one at CUA, I shared my 90-day plan with the CEO. I had prepared this plan before walking through the company's doors for the first time. It was also shared with my peers over the next few days and weeks during our initial one-on-one meetings," Gee writes.

Gee says he learned right away that events and meetings would consume him unless he clearly defined where he wanted to focus his time and energy. So the new CIO made the most use of his 30-60-90 day plan. The plan eventually helped him to achieve success in the new role by establishing his personal brand, authentically connecting with the staff and peers and making a tangible impact as a leader very early.

"Your time will be stretched during these first 90 days and you'll be subjected to much stress, so be sure to devote time to yourself and your family. Getting this balance right is difficult, but remember you are the only person who can control this. Taking time out to reflect will help you manage and think through where you spend your energy," Gee writes.
