Take Your Goals from SMART to SMART as Hell!

• Are you frustrated by misalignment during performance reviews or evaluations?
• Do you wast time and energy trying to understand what's expected of you?
• Do you struggle to create alignment between you and your employees, clients, managers, customers, vendors, teachers, or family?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to attend our SMART as Hell: Goals session in Rochester, NY on August 2nd, 2012.

In this one-day training, conducted by Glenn Hughes, you'll learn the four types of evaluation, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. You'll use the SMARTometer - the first tool that allows you to accurately measure the quality of your goals. You'll create a SMART as Hell goal for a task or 'soft skill' that's difficult to measure. Finally, you'll apply the SMART 6-step process to align evaluation expectations with those who measure you.

This program has been approved for 6.5 recertification credit hours through the HR Certification Institute. We guarantee that you will improve the score of your goal during this session, or you'll receive free coaching until your goal is improved.

Get control of your work, your life, or your team with goals that are SMART as Hell.

This event will be held at the beautiful Inn on Broadway in Rochester.

Quote of the week

"Objectives are not fate; they are directions. They are not commands; they are commitments. They do not determine the future, they are a means to mobilize the resources and energies of the business for the making of the future."
- Peter Drucker

This is a brilliant response (like there's any other kind from Mr. Drucker?) to the tired complaint, "I can't make goals, my work changes too much".
Well, duh, says Drucker. You can change them!

SMART as Hell - The Blog

I'm excited to announce my second blog - SMART as Hell.

The objective of SMART as Hell is to make all goals and objectives, that's right, SMART as Hell.

After laying out my philosophy of SMART goals over the next few weeks, I'm going to start critiquing some

Each week, I'll post a different (real) goal or objective that I've found on the Internet and run it through the SMARTometer. Sound painful? Well, for some objectives it will be!

After I critique the objectives, I'll take a shot at rewriting them.

Join me for some laughs, some learning, and - if you're up for it - some help with your SMART goals.
