2. What is 'Management By Objectives - MBO'

Management by objectives (MBO) is a management model that aims to improve the
performance of an organization by clearly defining objectives that are agreed to by both
management and employees. According to the theory, having a say in goal setting and action
plans encourages participation and commitment among employees, as well as aligning
objectives across the organization.
3. Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS), a management tool to provide a better
analytical basis for decisionmaking and for putting such decisions into operation. A PPBS is
constituted, basically, of five elements: (1) a program structure — a classification of the
courses of action open to an organization for attaining its objectives; (2) an approved program
document that includes precise, quantitative data on needs, resource inputs, and program
outputs extending a number of years into the future; (3) a decisionmaking process that
establishes the functions, rules, and timetables for the actions required by the PPBS; (4) an
analysis process for measuring effectiveness and for weighing alternatives; and (5) an
information system that supplies the data required to implement the system.
4. Yes. It is very important for a leader to have a good decision making in an organization
because you'll make better decisions, you'll save time and make better use of resources, all
employees will be able to contribute more effectively, professional development is enhanced,
people will accomplish more faster, commitment will be stronger, employee satisfaction and
engagement will improve, employees will be able to let go and focus, delegation will be easier
and more effective, employees will feel a stronger sense of ownership and people will make
fewer mistakes. This is why decision-making is a top priority when I work with clients to create
a culture of clarity.
