This is one of the principles we use at my job. Make the goal something hard and aspirational, and then grade yourself/your team after a given amount of time on how close you came.

If you made it easily, try something harder next quarter. If you didn't come close, re-evaluate and make the goal more reasonable next time around.

Management setting unobtainable goals burned me out of multiple jobs.

That’s the thing, they let us set our own goals so stuff like that doesn’t happen, thankfully.
