3. What is SMART? Explain the different steps involved in it.
Ans. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic and Time-bound.
Ð S: Specific: Goals should be stated in specific terms. Vague goals are difficult to attain. Specific goals give us a concrete
target. Hence, a goal should have a specific purpose.
Ð M: Measurable: Goals should always be measurable. If we do not set our goals in measurable terms, it is difficult to
assess whether we have achieved them or not.
Ð A: Action-oriented: Goals do not just come true on their own. Effective goal setting should include action-based steps
that one will follow to achieve the goal.
Ð R: Realistic: There are few things more damaging to our sense of self-efficacy than setting ourselves up for failure. Goals
must always be realistically attainable.
Ð T: Time-bound: Goals must have deadlines. However, deadlines may change according to the situation. But one must
always set a deadline to get the job done within a specified time limit.
4. What are the steps that we can take to become a result-oriented person?
Ans. Ways to become result-oriented:
i. Set clear goals: In order to achieve a goal, one must first set clear and accurate objectives.
ii. Prepare an action plan: The action plan describes how a person or organisation will accomplish its objectives. It explains
how the target will be achieved.
Ð What changes will occur after the actions?
Ð Who will carry out the changes?
Ð When will the changes take place?
Ð How long will the changes be effective?
Ð What resources are needed to carry out the changes?
Ð Who should know and what should be communicated?
iii. Use the right resources and tools: One must evaluate the resources and tools needed to achieve those results and
whether they are available.
iv. Communicate with mentors and peers: One must talk to teachers, seniors, and mentors for help in setting realistic goals.
v. Make a calendar: One must make a calendar to monitor the progress at regular intervals.
vi. Work hard: One must work hard and believe in one’s dreams.
