Tomorrow I am driving to Plymouth to start teaching an ILM course on leadership for five weeks back to back. It will involve working on HMS Raleigh, doing an overnight expedition on Dartmoor (with a spot of sleep deprivation thrown in) and going into a sinking ship simulation tank. All in the nature of teaching leadership.
One of the main things that as facilitator I have to do is to hammer home the importance of setting SMART objectives; being specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. As I was reading about it I realised that I often set goals for myself but hardly ever applied SMART objectives. Life would be so much easier if I had done so - I may have not tried to count parrots in the Caribbean.... without a pair of binoculars.
My advice is that SMART goal setting does work, so apply them, and I will endeavour to do so too.
