The Example Objectives you've been looking for

End confusion over muddled objectives. No more wondering how on earth you're going to prove you've done your job well.

Yes, it's true. You really can write your own or your team's objectives in just 10 minutes, using Vinehouse Quick Start Sheets.

In these Quick Start Sheets, Nancy Slessenger has distilled her 23 years of experience in sorting out work objectives and goals for people in all kinds of roles in all kinds of organisations.

Here you will find editable examples of the main objectives needed for roles in different parts of an organisation. Each set has between 20 to 50 example objectives for you to modify copy and paste, with explanations of why they are phrased as they are.

Wave goodbye to horrors such as these - unclear, unmeasurable or impossible to understand:

• Manage Diaries – This is a very common objective for administrative people. But how can you measure if it’s done well or not? How can you show your manager you have done a good job?
• Read Intranet sites – Yes, this really was an objective that one of our clients had. How many should you read? Which ones? And, most importantly, why are you doing this?
• To embed leadership excellence practices for all line managers – How would you ever know you had achieved this? What do you mean by "embed"? This is very hard to measure.
• Form relationships with people outside ISIS – What kind of "relationships" are we talking about here? How would you know if you had formed enough of them? How are you going to go about achieving this? Where will you start?
• Make a positive contribution to the project team – What is a "positive contribution"? Does it mean you have to speak at all the meetings? Does it mean you have to carry out specific tasks? If so, what are those tasks?

They're funny unless they're your goals and your bonus depends on proving you're met them! Yet these are all real examples Nancy has come across in working with objectives for 23 years.

Write clear, SMART, workable objectives and goals in less time than it takes to get a hot drink and moan to your colleagues about how difficult last year's appraisal was.

Just pick the set or sets that apply best to you or your staff. The download links will come through in your email in a few moments, no waiting for the post to arrive.

We've made sure that the files are in a version of MS Word that is compatible with all versions from Word 97 to 2010 for Windows,  (Word 98 onwards for Mac) and can also be edited with OpenOffice and Pages (Mac).

If you can’t find the objectives you need in the quick start sheet once you’ve bought it, just tell me what you need and I’ll write them for you – FOR FREE!

And don't forget that all the Vinehouse products are covered by our no-questions money-back guarantee.
