Goals get you where you want to be It is true that goals get a person where he or she wants to be since they make the management aware of organization’s weaknesses, as a result of which they improve in order to overcome the weaknesses. Goals act as a platform through which someone makes decisions. Setting of goals also enables organizations to know their strengths and capitalize on these strengths to actualize their plans. Goals determine where organizations want to be since they help in setting priorities. As a result, mangers get focused and they cannot be distracted from achieve what they have targeted to achieve in life. In addition, goals provide a path which an organization can follow. this way, the managers can know whether they are on the right track and realize the changes they need to make (Montgomery Schools par. 3).

Despite the fact that goals determine where one wants to be, there are various objections that are against this point of view. One of the arguments against this statement is that some goals are not easily achievable. Failure to achieve goals may demoralize a person and lead to stress, especially if one had put a lot of expectations in the goals they had set. In addition, goals may be unpredictable since there are some changes that one may encounter along the way, which minimize the chances of achieving goals. Time constraint is another argument against the role of goals in determining where one wants to be. Some goals are achievable only in the long-run and assuming that they will be achieved within a certain period is not realistic (Bratton et al 15).
