According to one model developed to provide practical guidelines, an effective goal conforms to three "must" criteria: It expresses a specific and measurable result, and it sets a date for achieving that result. It should also only have a single result. It is not advisable to put multiple objectives together. So the goal should follow this format:
(1) To + (2) Action Verb + (3) A Single Specific and Measurable Result + (4) Target Date.
Based on these guidelines, evaluate the following six goals and complete the two required parts below.
To complete the project within two weeks.
To be perceived as the highest quality hotel in the tri-state by the end of 2030.
To improve productivity in my department.
To write objectives next week.

To increase sales in 2030.
Complete the following two parts:
For each of the six goals, write a brief critique (2-3 sentences) based on the guidelines (the "must" criteria) provided at the beginning of this assignment. For example, is there any component that is missing? Is everything clear? How do you think it can be improved?
Then based on your critique, please rewrite to improve these goals.
