1.SETTING OBJECTIVES.

Stating Objectives

OBJECTIVES are something that you will try to make happen

in the future. Since that's a ways down the road it's good

to get points along the route. Once your

OBJECTIVES are approved, it's important to make a plan to

reach them.

Taking one step at a time is best. Reaching each step shows

you're making progress and can give you a feeling of

success. This will help keep you going even though there may

be problems.

Your plan works like a map and has specific statements

(objectives). Objectives describe short term steps which

must be reached along the route to your OBJECTIVES.

Objectives tell who is responsible to do what by when and

how it will be done.

It's also important to identify ways to find out if progress

is being made on objectives. State things in a way that

permit you to know when they've been accomplished.

Write down your objectives, and the steps you plan to take

to reach them. It doesn't have to be a big deal. It's been

found that you are more likely to follow your plan if you

have it written down. Also, it's important to check your

plan with your superior so that you are sure it's okay. By

doing this you also can get your superior's support in

carrying out your objectives.

OBJECTIVES can be of great value in day to;day efforts. If

your goals are not clear you may get blamed or punished for

not doing something you didn't know you were responsible

for. You also might spend time on low priority tasks or work

that you enjoy doing instead of things that are important to

your superior...
