Importance of Alignment


Magnets are fascinating things. Every time we see a magnet we are tempted to plat with it. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to see Prof.Mandi walking into class with a chunk of magnet and ask us, “Why does a magnet attract?”. After many attempts by us at giving a good answer, one person in the class was finally able to say the right word – Alignment.


          A Magnet has its power because it can align innate magnetic forces in metallic atoms. So, magnets (or Physics for that matter) align natural forces . A Manager aligns human forces to get work done. In effect an organization is a force that is aligned. The bigger or better an organization, the more perfectly it is aligned.

Management by objectives (MBO) is a process of defining objectives within an organization so that management and employees agree to the objectives and understand what they need to do in the organization in order to achieve them.The essence of MBO is participative goal setting, choosing course of actions and decision making. An important part of the MBO is the measurement and the comparison of the employee’s actual performance with the standards set. Ideally, when employees themselves have been involved with the goal setting and choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfil their responsibilities
