Chapter 2 - Goal Setting Theories of Locke and Latham
There are three goal setting theories that can help you to be a more effective manager. For example, if a goal is set using the SMART method it may be either too complex or too simplistic. On the other hand, when using the ‘4CF’, a goal statement may be produced that is not as clear as one produced by the SMART method.

The SMART method of goal setting specifies that all goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.

This method of goal setting uses the strategy of working backwards from what you want to achieve, which makes it easier to determine the individual steps that are needed.
