Goals should be SMART, everybody knows this formula. Here´s a better one.
S specific
M measurable
A achievable
R reasonable
T time bound
Sometimes you find a bunch of variants of this formula:
S significant, stretchable, simple
M meaningful, motivating, manageable
A attractive, attainable, activating, assignable, appropriate, accepted, agreed, actionable, ambitious, aligned, aspirational, attainable, as if now (expressed in present time)
R relevant, realistic, resourced, resonant
T tangible, trackable, …
I suggest a SMARTER formula:
S specific (like in classical definition)
M measurable (like in classical definition)
A adding value (!)
R relevant (serving a higher purpose)
T tracked (continuously)
E exiting (for me and my boss)
R reviewed (continuously)
