There are various frameworks and cheatsheets in the business world, but few have stood the test of time (and the test of massively dysfunctional companies!) like SMART Goals. I'm a bit of a contrarian by nature-- not a nay-sayer, but more a healthy skeptic: I'm not interested in any fads or popular insights unless they are solid, preferably backed by some measure of evidence, and EASY / ADOPTABLE. I'm not up for doing work for the sake of work, and I definitely DO NOT want to do anything that waste's my time.
That's part of why I like the SMART framework: once you learn the best way to use it for you, it's one of the fastest and most efficient ways to craft and draft your goals. (and pretty hard for others to pushback on if you follow the letters!)
Check out Episode 10, which focuses on how to craft goals when you don't know what the strategy is... yikes!
