setting objectives

 

What are the characteristics of good objectives?

• They must be as specific as possible
• Objectives should be described in terms of ends, not means

 

The whole purpose of setting objectives is to give someone an end position and then let them work out the best way to achieve it. In this sense, objectives are energising.  They allow staff to use their energy and initiative in the best way that they see fit.

Objectives should normally be achievable by the person to whom they are given. This gives scope for under-achievement and over-achievement.

Objectives should be objective and verifiable by some other source such as a printout, a document, an entry in an account.

Staff must have the authority and ability to achieve the objectives set.
