When setting goals, keep these points in mind:
• They should be realistic and attainable.
• They should improve the organization (morale, monetary, etc.).
• All the people should be involved in the goal-setting process.
• A program should be developed to achieve each goal.

and accurate?
M Measurable How can we observe and measure
the success?
A Attractive Is the goal a positive state with
a “towards attitude”?
R Realistic Are time period, amount, resources and
conditions planned in the way that the
goal is reachable?
T Time-Phased Is a date settle when the goal should
be reached?
