Highlights on definition of Goal, types of goals, SMART goals - Crisp is an acronym commonly used to define effective goal setting. It stands for Clear, Realistic, Inspiring, Specific, and Time-bound. When setting goals, it's important to ensure they meet these criteria to increase the likelihood of success. 1. Clear: Goals should be unambiguous and easy to understand. The desired outcome should be stated in a way that leaves no room for misinterpretation. Clarity helps maintain focus and provides a clear direction for action. 2. Realistic: Goals should be achievable given the available resources, skills, and circumstances. It's important to set goals that are challenging but attainable. Unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and demotivation, while realistic goals provide a sense of accomplishment and drive ongoing progress. 3. Inspiring: Goals should inspire and motivate individuals or teams to work toward them. They should be aligned with personal or organizational values, vision, and purpose.

Time-bound: Goals should have a clearly defined timeline or deadline. A specific timeframe creates a sense of urgency and helps prevent procrastination. It also allows for better planning and prioritization of tasks and resources.
