Assignment: SMART Goals
Performance evaluations are not the only way to achieve employee and organizational
development (Lussier & Hendon, 2018). A more proactive way of improving performance is to
identify and work toward specific goals. One of the most popular methods of targeting goals is
the SMART method, a mnemonic for the elements of effective goal setting. This method
mandates the identification of goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time
bound (Stahl, 2018).
In this Assignment, you will select a job position within a healthcare institution. You will
develop SMART goals for the job position of your choice. You also will describe strategies for
professional development for your selected job position.
