Whether you are already recognized as a leader and trying to earn the respect of others or you are trying to build your leadership skills goal setting is an important step.
Goal setting helps us determine our priorities, get organized, make decisions, and realize our dreams. It is not enough to just write down something you would like to do or accomplish. Goals needs to be SMART.
Specific
Measurable
Action-oriented
Realistic
Time and resources constraints.
Specific: what would you like to happen/accomplish
Measurable: determine if you accomplished your goal
Action: states what/how you will accomplish your goal
Realistic: It is possible?
Time/Resources: Give a time limit or resource limit if time is not an issue.
An example of a SMART goal:
Personal: I will to lose 20 pounds before the end of the year, by walking for 1 hour 5 times a week.
Class related: I will to have the student store organized by setting up the register with barcodes and training students by the end of the month.
Your job is to create a personal and class SMART goal. A well thought out goal will be more beneficial to yourself.
Your SMART goals are due by midnight on October 16th.
