]]> Comment on Who needs achievable and realistic? by Kellie http://blog.robbiemackay.com/2010/05/11/who-needs-achievable-and-realistic/comment-page-1/#comment-349 Kellie Tue, 11 May 2010 07:37:40 +0000 http://blog.robbiemackay.com/?p=436#comment-349 There are times when the A and the R can be useful for goal setting. especially if you are setting short term goals, I think that the idea behind that is that you get to feel the success of achieving your goal and so you go onto make the next goal. Long term goals are a different story. I also question measurable, just because you can measure it easily is it worth having. Many things that are useful are measurable such as money earned, increase in customers etc. there are somethings you can attempt to measure such as customer satisfaction, employee productivity and happiness but these things are very hard to get an accurate measurement but are also very important to a business. SMART goals should be used for some goals in certain circumtances but I do not think they should be used for all goals at all times, but then again it depends on whats important to you.
