Short term goals are those that are formed for the purpose of defining the success rate. It
is based on helping employees to stay motivated. Short term goals are providing a step by step
approach to the achieve the laid gaols. It provides a clear plan to grasp the knowledge that would
otherwise be difficult to achieve in case there are only specific long run goals. There is breakage
of long run activities in shorter & actionable parts according to the way it can be achieved at a
particular point (Nugroho, 2019). Analysing the progress is one of the key aspect that can help
in resting the in realistic goals. It also leads to affirming of the decisions. Both the long and short
term goals can assist in managing the time for a individual in terms of career and life (Setting a
List of Short-Term Goal, 2020).
Value of short term goals: short term goals are very crucial for the purpose if planning to

work, dedication and planning. For achieving one long term goal there can be setting up of
several short term goals. It leads to create effective strategies for enhancing revenue of company.

According to view points of wenbdy connick, 2019 long term goals are very powerful tool that
can motivate a individual in achieving the maximum success in order to work of their maximum
competence or potential. Mostly short term goals are planned to be achieved for a time period of
less than a year. Setting a specific targets leads to motivating individuals and they can experience
a boost in their present morale.
Examples:
 certifications courses
 Working on development of communication skills
 Getting familiar with new technology
Describe & discussion the value of medium term goals
Medium term goals are the ones that are bit longer than short term goals. That are to be
achieved in a time period of next two weeks or a month perhaps it includes a time period of six
months.

According to views of Jane Smith, 2018 medium term goals are used for the purpose of
bridging the gap between daily activities & long term vision for any organisation. For new
organisation and start-ups medium term goals are generally lasting for longer than a year.
According to staff writer, 2020 medium term goals are the one lying between short term gaols
and long term goals. Long term gaols are generally spreader over a long time period but they are
very helpful in steady progress towards the laid long term goals (Triatmanto and Natsir, 2019).
According to spark daily tasks are associated with achievement of long term goals that
can lead to high frustration in some cases. There is need of some steps that can lead to reaching
of the end gaols and focusing on other different aspects. While there has been setting up of once
a year goal the next step must always be to focus on medium term gaols that are to be achieved
in a time period of coming six months.
Benefits of medium term goals: medium term goals are very helpful as it is very useful in
making significant progress and also setting large number of goals to be achieved in a limited
time period.

Long term goals are defining the vision of company. They tend to be loftier than the medium
term and short term goals and posses intentions that is extending beyond the profit making
scenario such as connecting of communities, eradicating diseases, persevering of resources,
development of eradicated workforce & reduction of global conflicts.
Long term goals required a detailed planning that has to be done according to coming future
period that is a minimum time period of six months is used for the purpose of setting gaols. They
can also range from 12 months time period or greater than that according to the requirement of a
individual (Morton, Pencheon and Squires, 2017).
In this there are certain key aspects that have to be taken care of before tarting to plan the gaols.
It include creation of a picture of the place where individual is willing to be in a coming time

period of 10 years. Thinking about the position to be achieved in coming five years. Writing
down after particular time period is over of the achieved progress. After each monthly gaols has
been achieve there is looking at the goals and they have to be further adjusted according to the
needs of individual. Generally gaols are set by adjusting them according to its importance,
focussing on the goals around which other sub goals are revolving.
Benefit of long term goals: long term goals are related to achievement of gaols for a longer time
period. Different individuals have a different view point related to the long term gaols that is
developed according to their vision. Satisfaction level is different for every individual because ot
depends on how the person is seeing themselves. Long term goals are very important for sensing
happiness and well being for people to believe. It is directing the actions the sense of purpose
shaping the attitude towards objects, circumstances and people surrounding a individual.
Example of long term goals:
 Finishing of undergraduate degree program
 Focussing on self motivation techniques
 Focusing on team management skills
Above mentioned are some of the long term goals that are set according to the time
period. The time period is high because of the difficulty level to achieve the goals. Sometimes
the gaols are compliance to realise and this is the main reason there is need to divided in small
tasks so that each can be accomplished with higher effectiveness. Together the sub task are
assembled together which leads to achievement of the laid goals in long run. Long run goals are
viewed from a distance because of the tome period,. For instance it is related to changing the
complete life scenario of a personal (Schroeder, Anggraeni and Weber, 2019). For example
maximizing the present level of earnings, learning to speak a new language are some of the
examples of setting of long run goals of a individual.

purpose of making a analysing of the way different laid short, medium and long term terms
