Cascading Goals: I would collaborate with leadership to ensure that the company’s broader goals are reflected in the objectives of my direct reports. For example, if MegaSupply aims to expand in the Gauteng market, the team’s goals would be geared towards supporting this, such as improving service delivery or streamlining processes. 3. SMART Objectives: Each staff member would have clear, specific objectives tied to their role and responsibilities, ensuring they contribute to MegaSupply’s overall strategy.
