Goal setting is the practice of defining specific, measurable objectives to guide personal or professional effort, often structured using frameworks like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) or OKRs (Objectives and Key Results). Managers and individuals use goal setting to clarify priorities, track progress, and align team efforts with broader organizational strategy. It's a foundational skill in performance management and personal productivity.
