Dear PMAN103 participants
Welcome to Session 1 on Setting goals, objectives and measures.
These instructions published online for independent, self study learners. If you have just joined us, you will find copies of the instructions for the introductory Session on the course site.
Recap
We hope that you found the instructions useful for setting up your learning journal.
By now you should :
This session: Managing vs. Leading part 1
In the first part of session one we will look at setting goals, objectives and measures, how all three mesh with organisational strategy; how managers are responsible for making sure goals and objectives are attainable and the importance of measures.
- Work through the learning materials.
Planning and strategy Part 2
In this session you will learn than translating goals and objectives into a plan is the next major step for a manager. In this planning function, managers identify the needed resources and organize them so employees can accomplish tasks and meet set objectives. Strategic planning also comes into play as deciding what the organization is willing and not willing to do will help reach the goals and objectives set by the organization.

Post your questions using WENotes or the Leading and Managing People forum. Remember to include the url of the page where you are having problems.
Let’s leverage the power of peer-learning by helping each other. If you know the answer to a question, help a friend by responding. Bear in mind that as an international course, your facilitators may be in a different time zone and could be sleeping when you post a question.
Most of all have fun!
