    SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, reasonable and time bound. SMARTer goals are not only specific, measurable, achievable, reasonable and time bound, but also engaging and rewarding. However, based of my own experience, I can say that, when setting goals and conducting subsequent performance reviews, it is not only helpful to agree on an odd number of goals and to always use SMART goal formulations, but also to explicitly define your role for each goal.

    Aufnahme der Rollendefinition in eine SMARTe Zielverarbahrung
    SMARTe Ziele sind spezifisch, messbar, attraktiv (im Sinne erreichbar), realistisch und terminiert.

    Would you prefer a transactional or a transformational game?
    Which of the following situations do you prefer personally in a business context, where would you feel more comfortable with? The following task, "baking cookies," is intended to serve as a metaphor for all the typical work tasks and situations we are encountering in our daily work. A colleague approaches you and says: "I'm going to take one more cookie from the tin. Our colleague shouldn't be upset if there's one less cookie left for him." A colleague approaches you and says: "You can take a cookie from the tin first if you help me." A colleague approaches you and says: "Let's bake some more cookies together so everyone can satisfy their needs!"
