How To Write SMART Goals

• Identify the big, hairy audacious, critical-few
  goals that need to be worked on (The Most
  Important Ones!)
• Consult the data!
• What are the greatest areas in need of
  improvement?
• Dig deep and get specific (disaggregate!)
• If all you did was spend time on the identified
  SMART goals, would the time be well-spent?
