GOAL SETTING DEFINED “Goal setting is a process where leaders and their subordinates jointly identify common objectives, define subordinates’ major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected, through mutual agreement obtain the subordinates’ personal commitment, and use these objectives as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its members.”
GOAL SETTING IS APPROPRIATE WHEN: • The goals are specific and require higher level effort and performance • Subordinates and supervisors are committed to the goals • The goals are legitimate for the organization • The goals are accompanied by concrete feedback • The leadership does not see the goal setting process as a loss of power
IS GOAL SETTING APPROPRIATE? • Situation 1: Your supervisor believes that he/she should make all decisions. • Situation 2: Your organization serves as the project office for the commander. It is hard to predict what next project will be and the office is constantly under time pressure.
