This is a traditional management style that very seldom yields the desired results. The reason for failure is that the employees do not have the opportunity to share in the management’s vision and goals. The employees are simply given a download of the company goals and expected to work as a team to redeem these goals. The net result is that each employee has their own ideas on what to do and it is virtually impossible to achieve a common goal when no one is working in unison.

Management by Objectives will work in a profit, non-profit or any organization because the basis of the program is agreement and cooperation of all employees. Just think how powerful and organization can be if every member of the group was working toward the success of agreed upon goals with agreed upon strategies to achieve these goals. Management by Objectives will allow any organization to meet and exceed its annual and long term goals.

The only employees who object to the Management by Objectives process are the employees who do not want to contribute to the success of the overall organization. Thankfully, there are usually very few employees with this mindset. If an organization does have employees who do not want to contribute toward success, it is imperative that they are identified quickly so that this situation can be remedied.
