Management by Objectives (Unit 4 (Guaranteeing the Objective (Compare the…

- - - - If we have defined "what is desired" and we have already begun to reach "the real", now we have to compare them. Compare the actual results (the ones that are really happening) with the results you want to obtain.
    - - The control is based on comparing "the real" with "what is expected". So we must define beforehand that it is "what is desired". In fact, if you defined your objectives well this point can be completely covered. A well-defined objective is a description of "what is desired". Let's see:
    - - We control to take action and to guarantee the objective. If things are going better than expected, you have to take action: maybe improve the goal or try to improve reality even more. If things are going wrong, you also have to take action: find out why they are going wrong, solve the causes of it.
    - - Control is to verify that things are as they should be or how we want them to be. When buying a package of cookies, you will probably look at the expiration date. I would be controlling the product to buy. If the expiration date had passed, I would not buy those cookies, because they would not be as they should be: healthy, fresh, and so on..
- - - - For the objectives to be useful, they must meet practical requirements in their conception:
        Realistic and achievable
        Motivators
        Flexible
        Understandable
        Be justified
        Coherent
        Consistent
        organization.
        Accepted
        They must be assumed
        The degree of involvement must be known
        Quantified and measurable
    - - An ideal goal should clearly reflect:
        Who is responsible for its compliance.
        What to do (get), when and how.
        Reflect exactly what is the expected result.
        Establish it in a quantified and numerical way or with a very clear and precise scale.
        Establish the formula or mechanism of measurement to assess the degree of compliance with the objective. Especially if you are going to be associated with some type of evaluation or remuneration
    - - As already explained, a goal is something that you want to achieve. Anything we want to achieve or obtain is a goal. Let's see, think about how I would like your life to be today. Take 30 seconds to think about it ...
- - - - To perform each task and to achieve all the proposed objectives, you need resources. A work team is not enough. Before you try to do something, get the resources you need to do it. If you do not get them, you will have to change the tasks, so that you can do them with the resources you do have.
    - - A very important point for the APO is the participation of the members of an organization. People prefer to do something that they themselves have decided or in whose decision they have participated, instead of doing things imposed.
    - - If you are working individually to achieve something, no way, you will have to do everything yourself; although not everything at once, everything in its moment. On the other hand, if you are working with other people, then things can be easier if we know how to manage the group.
    - - There are many things that can be done to achieve an objective. Let's make a list and we'll see.
- - - - The administration by objectives or management by results is a theory that was born in the decade of 1950. One of its maximum representatives was Peter Drucker
    - - With this theory began to consider the objectives as the most important when managing: The objectives are the most important and not the means to achieve them.
        A goal is something to achieve or achieve. A medium is an activity that is done to achieve an objective.
