Goal Setting
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The practice of defining goals clearly enough that people know what outcomes matter and can align work accordingly. In healthy organizations, goal setting connects ambition to clarity instead of becoming a ritual of vague aspiration and forgotten slides.
In plain English: The act of setting clear goals to guide work and priorities.
Example: "Their goal setting improved once teams wrote what success would look like in real behavior and metrics rather than just naming broad themes like innovation and quality."
