Management by Objectives

                      Effective Goal Management with MBO: Online Training Program

Management by Objectives (MBO)—also known as Management by Results (MBR)—is a powerful and widely-used management strategy focused on aligning organizational goals with employee performance. It involves clearly defining objectives at all levels of the organization so that both management and employees understand, agree upon, and work toward shared goals.

The concept was first introduced and popularized by Peter Drucker in his influential book “The Practice of Management.” Since then, MBO has become a well-accepted method in business management, especially for enhancing accountability, motivation, and performance.

This Management Development Program (MDP) dives deep into the benefits of MBO and offers a practical approach to implementing it effectively in the workplace. The emphasis is on setting measurable, time-bound objectives that align with the overall vision of the organization.

In an MBO framework, managers focus on outcomes rather than activities. Instead of micro-managing how tasks are done, they delegate responsibility by setting clear goals in collaboration with employees. This creates a “goal contract”, where expectations are set through mutual agreement—fostering a sense of ownership and accountability among team members.

One of the key advantages of MBO is employee engagement. When employees are actively involved in goal setting and choosing their own path to achieve results, they are more motivated and committed to delivering their best. This participative approach enhances productivity, promotes clear communication, and builds a culture of self-driven performance.

Through this course, learners will explore:

• The step-by-step process of MBO implementation

• How to align individual goals with organizational objectives

• Tools for tracking progress and measuring results

• The manager’s role in facilitating and reviewing performance

By the end of this program, participants will be equipped to apply MBO in real-world scenarios, leading to improved team performance and organizational growth.
 

This course introduces the concept of Management by Objectives (MBO)—a process where organizational goals are jointly set by management and employees. Through this approach, employees clearly understand their roles, set personal goals aligned with company objectives, and work with greater focus and accountability. The course helps participants learn how to balance individual growth with organizational success.
