Re: Developing Career Objective/Goals - Clarification

...unless of course your boss is enthralled by the MBO Handbook.  (That's
management by Objectives -- a management fad that reached its peak here in
the Midwest about five years ago.)

In a corporate environment where so many people are so ineffective at
their jobs, instead of defining goals that will be used to detirmine
your future effectiveness, why not demonstrate your current superior
effectiveness by being extremely effective in what you do now, not what
you plan to do over the next 3-12 months.

Do your present job in a superior fashion (do the job 100% as asked,
then throw in a minor enhancement at no additional charge) and you will
be viewed as a superior worker, wotrhy of raises, promotions, and maybe
even accolades and standing ovations.
