Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
The organization's upper and lower levels jointly agree on objectives, and use objectives as the guide for self-control and assessment. Emphasizes results, not process.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Contract spirit: The essence of MBO is 'empowerment'. Since you agreed to the objectives, how you do it is up to you; at year-end, results speak. This is the foundation for modern enterprises to move away from micromanagement.
Anchor fast decisions
MBO: upper and lower levels jointly set objectives, self-control, regular assessment, and use objectives to drive organizational alignment.
