161 - Should the R in SMART be Realistic or Relevant (REVISITED)

from The question is · host Thinking Focus

In this short episode of The Question Is, Ricky delves back into the library to revisit one of his favourite episodes, which also happens to be one of our most-played ever. There are lots of slightly different versions of the meanings of the five areas in SMART goals, but the one that comes up most often with the people we work with is the 'R': Realistic (can you do it) or Relevant (should you do it).   Even after all this time, this is still a hot topic, which is why Rob and Rich talked about it in 2017, and Ricky decided to focus on it for the first of our revisited series.
