OBJECTIVES FOR MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE

When managerial personnel have goals and objectives towards which they are striving, their activities have purpose, direction, and character. Rather than simply working within the status quo or doing what they are told, they know in specific and concrete terms what they are trying to achieve. As a result, they are likely to make better contributions to the corporation and to find greater gratification from doing so. Many corporate activities can be expressed in terms of some degree of accomplishment such as rate, frequency, volume, magnitude, quality, and soundness. Whatever the particular indicator, it can be used as one basis for establishing goals and objectives. Individual performance and effectiveness can then be evaluated as amounts of the goals that are attained or of the objectives which are reached.
