Choosing Your Objectives
|
Leaders
create vision for their organizations & they have purpose &
direction. Once a leader has a vision the next step is to define specific
mission statement. This statement will define the purpose of the project,
what are the benefits, who will receive the benefits & why these benefits
are important.
And
once the mission statement is established, values about what is good or
bad, important or not & are capable of affecting your everyday life.
Once
a leader has a vision & mission, others must be persuaded to make it
a reality. The leader must communicate the dream in a manner that will
convince others to work in achieving it too.

Winning Commitment to Your Objectives

To
accomplish a mission, a leader needs the help of others. Find people who
have an interest in your efforts. Then assemble a team, convene a
meeting, get input on the vision, mission & core values. Decide how
you wish to achieve the mission & set direction for your work. The
set an action plan, breaking up the work into smaller key areas for
specific actions. Assign specific people to specific areas depending on
their skills & attributes. And assign at least one specific goal for
each area. A goal is specific, measurable, realistic, time-bound &
action-oriented. Finally construct all the information into one document
called the Action Plan.
