This is a very helpful book when you need to write your own perfomance objectives. It is also useful if you are a manger writing objectives for your staff.
 Not What I thought it would be February 1, 2008
For some strange reason I thought that this would be more objectively based (measurements etc) giving examples of how to set SMART goals. But the Goals are very subjective, many Motherhood and apple pie, but they probabaly work well with the Companion book on performance review Phrases. I would have thought a better title would have been Setting performance objectives. An onbjective to my mind is something like. Improve your Quality", the goal should be something like 1 defect per 500 opportunities (Not six sigma I know!)

I am a business consultant for client companies whose business size is $30-50 million sales.I have been consulting for 27 years.I continue to find department heads and general management lacking the experience or know-how in establishing goals for their departments, associates or the over-all organization.
The subject tool, provides a common sense method for jump-starting management in the establishment of departmental and organization goals.I use this tool as a instructional approach. I have found that clients improve their communications and specific action. The tool gives the manager confidence.
