personal leadership and goal setting

Post a 2- to 3-paragraph explanation of how goal setting is a key component of your personal leadership development. In your explanation:

Describe why goal setting is important to your development as a leader (of self and others).
Identify one goal of yours, explain why it will contribute to your personal leadership development, and write it as a SMART goal (specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable, and time-bound).
Include a specific reference to at least one form of evidence to support your post. This could include one or more of this weekâ€™s Learning Resources, or an additional source of your choosing. As a reminder, you are encouraged to paraphraseâ€”rather than quoteâ€”any relevant ideas from your selected form of evidence and be sure to include the source of the information.
