Target agreement systems
Targets
Target agreements have been established as an important element of the leadership process. They specify the strategy of the organisation on the one hand and establish divisional, departmental and staff-related agreements on change and optimisation processes on the other hand.
These processes work when the target philosophy and the system are supported by all leaders and the target agreement discussions are conducted in a professional manner.
Meaningful work with personal responsibility requires a clear agreement on qualitative and quantitative goals. The binding nature of these goals is to be clarified in discussions and the preconditions established for objectively and openly discussing the degree to which goals have been achieved in future.
Concept
Control targets:
- I can completely achieve them with my current resources and skills
Responsibility targets:
- I cannot fully control their implementation, but they are part of my functional role
Targets of further interest:
- Targets that are useful, although I cannot control their implementation and they do not directly form part of my functional role
Procedure "from target to implementation"
Good target formulations create the preconditions for successful action, as the phrasing allows people to identify with the target and thus motivates them.
