Barriers To Achieve Goal Oriented Plan: 1. Inappropriate Goals

Barriers to achieve goal oriented plan
1. Inappropriate Goals
Inappropriate goals come in many forms. Goals may also be inappropriate if they are
unattainable if they place too much emphasis on either quantitative or qualitative
measures of success.
Financial goals are quantifiable, objective, and verifiable.
The organization is headed for trouble is they select goals which are beyond their grasp.
Goals should be appropriate for the internal factors of the organizations, such as;
financial condition, size, market share and more.
There are many different methods for setting effective goals. But one of the most
agreed-upon is called SMART goals. The SMART goals framework dictates that your
goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
2. Improper Reward System

The improper reward system is a barrier to goal setting and planning.
Involuntarily rewarding for poor goal-setting behavior or not be rewarded or even be

punished for proper goal setting behavior; these certainly have a bad effect on the
people in charge of goal setting and attainment.
If a company puts too much emphasis on Rewarding for short-term performance and
results, the employees may ignore longer-term issues as they set goals and formulate
plans for short-term achieve higher profit gain.
Rewards should be scaled to the accomplishment and consistency applied across the
company. Few things to design reward system; get employees involved, tie rewards to
company goals, be specific and consistent, reward behaviors, reward teams.
3. Dynamic and Complex Environment
If the nature of an organizations environment is not work-friendly then it is also a barrier

to effective goal setting and planning.
The manager attempting to set goals and plan in this fast-changing environment faces a
truly formidable task and rapid change in the market, technological innovation, and
intense competition are the reasons for it. So, to tackle this change, companies are not
large and have more department and staff. This is now an avoidable issue. Because of
this organizations environment is now more complex and dynamic.
If this complexity and dynamism in the organization structure are not well managed
then, surely; the company’s goal setting process will be hampered.
4. Reluctance to Establish Goals

The reason for reluctance may be lack of confidence, fear of failure, lack of skill or lack of
responsibility.
If a manager sets a goal that is precise, brief, and time-related, then whether he or she
attains it is obvious.
Managers who consciously or unconsciously try to avoid this degree of accountability
are likely to deter the organizations planning efforts.
5. Resistance to Change
Resistance to change; is a big problem for goal setting and planning is.
Planning principally involves changing something about the organization. And in this
fast-changing business environment, change is essential.
If managers are resisting the change willingly or unwillingly then it could hinder the
company’s attainment of ambitions. It could create problems like; losing market share,
increase in debt, loss or low profit, high operating expense and more.
6. External Barriers
Lack of resources, government restrictions, strong competition, political situation,
economic condition; are some external factors that affect the organization’s goal setting
process.

Qualities of a good school planner
1. You know how to plan and organize- as a planner, it is essential that you are
able to plan and organize your own work effectively. In a dynamic environment
where you are dealing with urgent problems or changes, it is vital not to lose
sight of the big picture. It is important to be able to prioritize on a continual
basis.
2. Your role is pivotal- planners have dealing with all kinds of people within an
organization for the execution of a variety of processes. These contacts largely
determine the planner’s role in the entire process. It is important for a planner to
be able to switch task, weigh up the interests of different parties, involve the
departments in the planning process and help them to take the right decisions.
3. You take the initiative-as a planner you enjoy spotting opportunities and acting
on them. This is not just extinguishing small fires, you also contribute to
improving processes in long term.
4. You are good communicator- need clearly express ideas and opinions to others.
It is also important to use plain language and to be certain that your message
comes across clearly. Clear communication is key.
5. You can handle stress – as a good planner, you need to keep performing
effectively under time pressure. An employee may unexpectedly be away due to
illness or a costumer may suddenly have different requirements. Is it the planner’s
task and responsibility to anticipate such events and find a solution quickly. This
requires being able to work effectively in a stressful environment. Furthermore, a
planner needs to be able to deal with setbacks, disappointments or resistance.
6. You are a problem solver - the planner is adept at spotting the cause of a
problem and determining its solution. The planner proposes solutions based on a
problem analyses they have conducted. The ideal planner therefore has
admirable analytical skills and their disposal. When making choices, a planner
also needs to consider the customer’s interest and the interest of the employees.

Instances that a plan will not work.
1. Unrealistic goals or lack of focus and resources- strategic plan must be

focused and include a manageable, clearly defined number of goal, objectives,
and programs. Adequate resources to accomplish those goals and objectives
outlined in the plan must be adequately allocated.
2. Plan are overly complexed- plan a possible capable and effectively
communicated strategy for the team to carry them out.
3. Financial estimates are significantly inaccurate
4. Plan are based on insufficient data- prepare a Plan B and means which
easily modify the plan before the project slides out of control.
5. Inflexible/undefined team roles and responsibilities- involved everyone in
a plan, understands from the outset what their work is and how it fits into the
plan as a whole, and to whom they will reporting, it is also important that
there mechanisms by which their feedback is factored into the planning and
process.
6. Staffing requirements are not fully understood- Resource planning is a
crucial part of the project planning process. Human resource requirement,
includes the number, role, skills and timing. After all plans depend on the
resources who deliver them. Data and information is crucial both at the
planning stages, to monitor availability and status, and to make any necessary
course corrections.
7. Project scope inflexible to changes- Experience tells us that simply because
a plan has been implemented and everyone has agreed to it doesn’t mean
that all will go as expected. It’s never a good thing when the changes and it
can usually be avoided through proper planning. But being adaptable and
having Plan B in case it does happen along the way is imperative to help
attain the overall project goal.
