		<description>I work in a career where upper management has recently implemented SMART objectives. It is a very good system for personal goals and objectives, however, if you are in a leadership position looking to get your team on track, You should alter the acronym and think in terms of B-SMART objectives. Everything being the same except for the &quot;B&quot; which stands for &quot;buy in&quot;. If the people coming up with the SMART objectives are not totally on board it becomes an excercise in pacifying management. 
Just something to think about.</description>
