Depending on the wording of goals. Firstly for personal goals it is unethical period because one of the basic human rights and rights granted by an employer (or officer thereof) to employee is for them to be able to set their own personal goals, to be able to develope themselves and derive enjoyment from realising goals in their own way.
To use any position to enforce such goals is attempting to control an employee in a way to treat them as not being a human being.
For other goals it is unethical or at least very stupid to have already pre determined an employees goals when you are in a session to determine them. If the process is about participation, formal imposition obviously prevents it occurring.
