ABSTRACT

Objectives are something that all of us set so we can accomplish something better in either our personal or work life. The objective is simply a desired state or condition that is intended to be achieved by someone or a team, group, or organization. Often people use goals and objectives interchangeably, but they are not. Goals are long range, from 5 to 20 years out. They are written in very broad terms. Goals usually support an organization’s vision or policy. Objectives are short range, usually one to two years in duration. They are more specific and support the organization’s goals.
