The traditional goal-setting is to layout a SMART objective, which is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Board (which is great coincidentally) and in the wake of making a SMART objective, concocting the controls important to accomplish that objective.

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a personnel management system where managers and employees cooperate to set, record, and screen objectives for a particular timeframe. Hierarchical objectives and planning stream top-down through the association and are converted into individual objectives for authoritative individuals.

MBO is better since under it managers and employees work together to set, record, and monitor goals for a specific period of time.
