Are You Too Ambitious? How to Keep Your Employee Goals High Yet Attainable

Many bosses make the unfortunate mistake of setting goals that are too high for their staff. These unattainable goals often cause team members to lose confidence and motivation as a result.

This acronym stands for: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.
