Re: Discussion Assignment by Marwan Fatah - Tuesday, 21 May 2024, 1:27 PM Managers may maintain order and efficiency in the companies they manage by setting goals and objectives. They provide specific targets and instructions on how to reach them. Establishing clear, specific objectives allows managers to observe their progress and make adjustments as needed. This enables everyone to work towards the same objectives. Moreover, accessible and clear objectives boost employee motivation and enhance productivity. Employees are more motivated when they realize exactly what has to be done and how it fits into the larger scheme of things. Having clear goals helps employees stay focused, feel inspired, and avoid confusion. Better job satisfaction and increased productivity result from this. Measurable goals also make it possible for managers to objectively assess achievement and offer joy, which increases motivation. As an example, I had to enhance our product development process in my previous position as project manager. In six months, we want to cut the time it takes to introduce new goods by 25%. This aim was divided into smaller goals, such as cutting one week off the testing process and two weeks off the design phase. With these particular ambitions in mind, we identified issues, enhanced procedures, and made better use of our resources. This displayed how having clear goals can boost motivation and performance and helped us reach our objective and become more productive. 221 words

The intention of these goals is to motivate employees to behave in a way that promotes the organization’s strategy. However, goals sometimes fail to motivate—and can even demotivate—individuals in the workplace if they are not properly set. This activity is important because managers must know how to not only develop well-thought-out goals but also to properly execute on the plan in order to successfully motivate their workforce. The goal of this activity is to provide you with problem-solving skills when it comes to issues related to motivation. SkyBlue, a popular airline, is introducing a new incentive plan that rewards employees for hitting certain marks on mishandled baggage and on-time departures. An airline supervisor is introducing this incentive plan to his team, and is being met with resistance and skepticism. How does the manager in the video handle the rollout of the incentive plan?

Re: Discussion Assignment by Babatunde Olaniran - Wednesday, 22 May 2024, 4:18 AM Goals and objectives act as a compass for managers, it helps to steer processes in the right direction within an organization. When goals are specific and measurable, employees have a clear and direct target to work towards. This clarity motivates them and boosts their morale to perform well. In one of my experiences. At a time when I was interning in the tech company I once talk about, we had a client who was in urgent need of a software for his store, he wanted it in seven months, we placed it under a strict five-month timeline. Setting that specific goal to time with some measurable milestones allowed us to maintain control and consciousness of our activities. We knew exactly what we need to accomplish and by when. Each team member had defined responsibilities tied to those milestones, this gives room for accountability. Regularly reviewing our progress against the milestones enabled us to quickly identify any potential delays or roadblocks and we make necessary adjustments immediately. The timed, structured approach with a clear, measurable goal kept us focused and on track since it is realistic. In the end, we completed the it within the time frame and were able test run and monitor it for a month before it was delivered in the 6th month. The specific goal drove our performance and minimize disruptions. It demonstrated our ability to execute complex projects effectively, thus boosting our team morale and confidence. 240 words
