Part 1 Your goals should be challenging so that you will achieve them. They should also motivate other people on the team to want to do so also. The goals shouldn’t be so hard that they are intimidating the other people involved with them. If the goals are set to high then the other people, will give thinking that they can’t be accomplished.
Your goals should be specific and easy to follow. The goals need to be something that isn’t too broad or vague that causes discouragement and confusion. It also tends to make it less easy to Achieve them, Also, delete superlative words (like most, least, best, worst, etc.), and replace them with specific quantities concerning the goals, (skillstoolbox.com, 2012). Make a timeline with your goals. A good timeline will determine and establish a simpler and good plan with good motivation to achieve the goals set. Always establish a deadline this will insure that you will accomplish this. It will also ensure that the others will help to be efficient managers.
Part 2
Proper planning, as described by Mary Coulter & Stephen Robbins (2012) involving defining the organizations goals, and developing strategies to achieve the goal. Establishing planned to integrate and coordinate work activities also is relevant to the planning stage (pg. 204) Since I am not working at this time I chose Head Start in my area. This is for kid’s ages 3 to 4 years old. This program helps kids to learn to get along with other kids their age. They are also teaching the children to get along with other kids and to share their toys and other items. With the Head Start Program the children also learn their ABC’s, number, colors, shapes, and how to write their names. They also learn to sing as groups and to act out plays with the help of the teachers. They also have physical education that teaches them how to exercise and be health. They are also trying to help the children how to eat health foods. They also send papers home with the children to teach the parents how to make health snacks for their children. They also get the children on the right way to take care of their teeth. They have a time that they brush their teeth after they eat. They also make sure that the children keep up to date on their shots and well child appointments. They also have started a program that they send food home with the children so that they have food for the weekends to help the parents out.
