I've never been a big fan of SMART objectives. I accept there is
wisdom in the acronym, but I think the process tends to eclipse the most
important things about performance objectives: they should provide
clarity, challenge and motivation, and when delivered they should add
value to the organisation.
I made this point in a previous podcast (The secrets of accelerated learning: what's your objective? with Krystyna Gadd) and was contacted by Garry Platt who disagreed with some of what I said and wanted to mount a defence of SMART.
So
that's what this is ... an extra podcast challenging some of the
content of the previous one, with a screeching parrot in the background. |
