SMART Goals, SHARP Goals

This e-guide explains the often-used SMART approach to goal setting but it does much more.

It offers deeper insights into goal-setting and provides answers to some significant questions:

• What kinds of goals are likely to motivate us to succeed?
• What kind of goals should you pursue to be happier in what you do?

Being a SMART goal-setter is valuable but it’s not enough. To be really successful, you also need to be SHARP. This guide will help you to set SMART goals, then take SHARP action to achieve them.

SMART goals have become a common feature in most organisations. In this guide we explain the conventional, well-known version of SMART, before addressing some of the limitations of the acronym. In doing so we’ll introduce ideas about how to develop goals that are more likely to motivate you to succeed. You’ll find out how to develop effective goals, then combine SMART goal setting with SHARP action. That’s because goals are only wish lists unless we convert them to action.

In this guide we will explore answers to the following questions:

• How do you define goal setting?

• These are fantastic little e-books, very thorough, easy to follow

  We’ve used [the guides] as support tools for learners on our talent management programmes which has saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. I’d definitely recommend them.
