What makes goals achievable

What makes goals achievable

Goals need to be specific, challenging yet attainable, have deadlines, and have a more learning orientation than being performance-oriented.

When goals are used to evaluate performance with regular feedback on the progress, they have a bigger chance of reaching desired results.

Basically, goals must be SMART to be truly effective - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based.
