A goal is considered clear when it is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). Specificity ensures that everyone understands what needs to be accomplished. Measurability allows for tracking progress and making necessary adjustments. Achievability ensures the goal is realistic given the available resources and constraints. Relevance aligns the goal with the overall business strategy, and being time-bound sets a deadline to create urgency and focus.
