Management by Objectives (MBO)Management by Objectives (MBO)ApproachApproachEstablish clear and realistic objectives

Good objectives are “clearly stated” andcontain a “measure” of how to assesswhether they have been achieved.

To be realistic, objectives must be“determined jointly” by managers andthose who perform the work.
