Clear work objectives at the individual, team and organisational level
Main work objective at individual, team and organisational level is to secure the building
site area during developing stage. Thus, for this effective technical skills and management skills
are required in order to ensure that team meets the set objectives. It requires 24 hour security, a
gate house with one static guard during the hours of 6:30-18:00 Monday-Sunday and also one
patrolling guard during 24 hours. Therefore, proper security solutions need to be provided to the
new building as it is constructed nearby sea area. Security person should set more expectations
verbally and then create smart goals. Managers are required to develop work plan so that it is
