Good evening and welcome back to The Leadout. Happy new year! My apologies that this has popped into your inbox in the evening, rather than in the usual morning fashion, but even I’m allowed a day completely off now and again, and that was New Year’s Day for me. As ever, do email me - [email protected] - if you have anything to say.
Cycling Weekly might be a 133-year-old institution, but we're also owned by a PLC - Future PLC, in this case - so of course, being January, we're busy writing SMART goals. Everyone is doing them; that’s goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely, for the uninitiated. While this might seem like classic corporate babble, it’s actually a useful way of thinking about where you are at work, and where you could improve. Finessing them through the framework means that they aren’t just meaningless targets, but things that are within reach, but that could be challenging.
