Which action is part of implementing Drucker's Management by Objectives?

• A. Review objectives
• B. Discuss between staff & employer
• C. Ignore staff input
• D. Set SMART, quantifiable objectives

Answer: (B)

Management by Objectives rests on a collaborative process where managers and employees agree on what to achieve. The essential implementing action is the discussion between staff and employer to set and agree on targets. This shared dialogue creates buy-in, clarity, and ownership of the objectives, which drives commitment and improves performance. Ignoring staff input contradicts the approach, and while setting SMART, quantifiable objectives is important, the core implementing step is the actual collaborative discussion that aligns expectations and responsibilities.
