Abstract
Sustainable development goals (SDGs) require the setting of specific and measurable goals. However, in reality, the following problems are seen:
- Goals that are not challenging.
- Many goals are not specific and only indicate the direction, so that they are not held accountable for non-attainment.
- Result goals that are held accountable are largely influenced by factors other than one^s efforts or luck.
These are also trends that are seen when setting goals in organizational performance management or individual career and skill development.
The paper will introduce a method for successfully setting specific, measurable, and challenging goals from the perspective of performance development, rather than performance appraisal. This will allow organizations and individuals to not only do their best, but also set good goals and implement effective initiatives that can confirm their effectiveness.
