A good goal, effectively carried out, produces measurable outcomes.

Goals need to be written such that others can observe and see a discernable difference, change or gain that is a direct result of the goal being achieved.
This statement can be more complicated than you might think as sometimes goals are achieved quite by accident or by other coorelational means. Sometimes you might just say “what the heck” and move on, grateful for the accomplishment of the goal. In some situations that’s fine; however, it make it more difficult to be duplicated.
