Health and social care teams are subject to regular supervision and annual individual performance reviews. As support workers, we need to be able to consider how we can relate to service users and be able to assess our team working strengths and weaknesses. The manager is responsible for setting the goals and objectives for all staff members. Than we have individual objectives, for each staff member, as well as team objectives. We must be able to understand and agree our shared goals and be able to 'picture' the vision or targets we are trying to achieve. Once we agree and understand the goals and targets, we are better able to work together to achieve the required results. Individual objectives can help to support this.

Any lack of clarity can result in the team aiming off target and missing the goal and the visions. -Measurable: How will we know that we are on track? Particularly if the objective will take some time to be realized? Can we measure part way to know that we are heading in the right direction? - Achievable: Does the team members buy into the objectives? Do they believe that can deliver what is expected of them with the skills, training and time available? -Realistic: Are the objectives realistic? The team realistically deliver the vision desired, for the goals we set? - Timely: We might have met all the criteria above, but do the team have sufficient time to do a competent job? Wherever possible the team is involved in the decision making process, when setting objectives. The result is that we feel valued and more likely to take ownership of the objectives and work more actively to achieve the desired outcomes. My personal work objectives based on agreed objectives are to: -support and supervise the team and ensure tasks are carried out to maintain high standards of service. -carry out induction and shadowing with new team
Common objectives are developed by working together to ensure Team building is done and that the team runs affectively with all members using their strengths. The evaluate each individuals strengths and weakness’s and bear these in mind when allocating tasks. Agree with team members the tasks they have been set and ensure they are confident and trained to carry them out. Ask for suggestions and brainstorm for idea’s from the team and allow them to have an input as long as it is safe and possible to do so.
Whilst planning the teams work it is essential that the Manager makes use of peoples skills and knowledge to ensure their objectives and goals are achieved. An objective is “a specific result that a person or system aims to achieve within a time frame and with available resources” (WebFinance Inc., 2017) and a goal is “an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed timeframe” (WebFinance Inc., 2017). A goal defines the direction and destination, but the road to get there is accomplished by a series of objectives” (WebFinance Inc., 2017). Objectives should be SMART (see appendix 1) and targets should be allocated to team members to complement their existing knowledge and
Agreeing objectives is essential for a team or individual to know what they are focusing on to avoid wasting resources and time. Knowing the How, What, When and Why of an assignment will mean being able to complete the task in a timely manner and correctly.

There are OBJECTIVES where we can identify what we want to be able to do or to do better.
The Board also developed specific goals representing priority areas for improved team effectiveness: these include direction and purpose, work processes and behavioural norms. In subsequent assignments with Holden we have helped the cascade of change process further to organisation.
Everyone understands that this is the direction and destination that the team is moving towards and consists of high communication skills. The players understand that their individual’s goals must fit within the framework of the team's goal. Once everything is clearly communicated and defined the team have a clear understanding of the goals. To

As a practice manager one of my main responsibilities is to effectively measure my team’s performance against our organisations goals and objectives. I need to set goals that not only gives my employees something to strive for but it can also be a way to gauge their overall performance. All employees should have should have goals and objectives so they know what is expected of them and how to produce what is expected of them in our organisation. The question I need to ask myself is – How effective are we at achieving this?

“As a manager, he and an employee agree on a set of objectives (goal specificity, participation in decision making and goal setting process) in an assigned period of time, usually a quarter(an explicit time period),he and employees would meet to evaluate and discuss how well the objectives agreed upon were or were not met (performance feedback)”
Measure things that add value to organizational decisions. Measuring for the sake of measuring is a waste of time.

Normally, for each concrete objective that help progress the organisation (or involved organisations) towards the attainment of a goal, it would be expected to also specify how we shall measure success that the expected benefit has been realised (e.g., using performance indicators), as well as we would have to define critical success factors (those things that must go right during the change or the outcome is in jeopardy).
goals which are to be achieved by the subordinates, assess the contribution of each individual and integrate individual objectives with those of the organisation so as to make best use of the available resources
