There has been argument whether setting of targets is good strategy or implement of
reward system is suitable statics for inspiring people to improve their performance within an
organization. As some authors perceives that establishment of short term target is appropriate as
it helps people in experiencing winning that further motivates them to maintain their focus on

There are few scholars who think that reward system is best for inspiring people to improve
their performance. Some people argues that failure in accomplishment of the set target can lead
to high level of dissatisfaction among employees which can further have negative impact on their
performance. There has been further argument that the major drawback of implementing reward

accomplishing the desired target which is considered to be as best strategy for encouraging other
people to improve their performance. It is requirement the manager in chicken Co to implement

manager’s autocratic

system can be utilized for improving employee development as well as communications these
are establishment of Staff Forum through which employees can raise issues of
concern and can share their opinion related to improvement in working conditions. As this
strategy will assist management in dealing with the problem of poor communication occasioned

management style.
In addition to this, an enterprise is required to provide working with training and
development opportunity, as this will help employees in increasing their working efficiency as

required for performing the specific task. Six sigmas is also one of the best approach which can

performance. It is required by manager or leader in Chicken Co ltd. To set Smart objectives and
