science behind goal setting? Is goal setting the best way

possible to achieve the goals?

Goal setting is the most important day to day activity that is

being executed in order to achieve the expected results in the

long term. Three best methods to set goals are; S-M-A-R-T,

The 4C-F, and backward goal planning.

Goal setting theory explains the science behind the nature of

goal setting. Specific, challenging and feedback are the most

important elements of achieving a goal. However, there are also

some negative or side-effects of goal setting.

Goal setting process is failed due to a lot of reasons such as

not knowing how to set goals, fear of failing, and rejection.

Raising above all the stereotypes help in making the goal setting

process successful.

It is important to set goals so there should be no leading

towards misdirected path on the way to the desired results.

Goals should be time-bound, and the resources available should

be considered while setting the difficulty of the goals or it might

backfire with disappointing results.

Communication while executing goals in a group is a very

important and noticeable factor in achieving the target or prime

objective of the group or company or an organization. Without

goal setting, there will be no sense of achievement after

completion of a certain task as there will be no base available

to compare it with and hence there will be no happiness in

doing any task.
