Each goal must specify the expected results, not just the activities to be accomplished.
The 'SMART' Rule for Goal Setting
Specific • Unmistakable meaning; Accountability is defined • Expected results identified and prioritized
Measurable • Same measurement by manager/supervisor and employee.
Achievable • Resources are available; Individual growth is encouraged
Relevant • Supports the mission of the department • Employee has control; Compatible with other goals
Time bound • Has a completion date or time
