Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWC<p>New today on Thinkydoers: anti-hustle business strategist, Zephyr Williams!</p><p>Zeph and I met in a comment section on Threads, where we (trauma?) bonded over our mutual disdain about SMART goal setting.

Brian Greenberg :verified:<p>SMART is so yesterday — FAST is how modern teams win! 🚀<br>This MIT Sloan piece on goal‑setting challenges the traditional SMART approach, arguing that goal‑setting works best when goals are:<br>🎯 Frequently Discussed – Integrated into daily conversations.<br>🎯 Ambitious – Stretch targets that motivate.<br>🎯 Specific – With clear metrics and milestones.<br>🎯 Transparent – Shared across teams for alignment.</p><p>✔️ Frequent check‑ins foster agility.<br>✔️ Ambitious goals elevate performance.<br>✔️ Transparency aligns individuals with broader strategy.</p><p>In fast‑changing environments, FAST beats SMART.
