Aims and Objectives

Setting Aims and Objectives

Before I began, I reminded myself the difference between an aim and an objective. An aim is something general, broad and strategic whilst an objective is something that is specific, clearly defined, and allows the aims to be achieved.

My Aims and Objectives:

Leadership

Objectives:

• To listen to everyone during group discussions

• To calmly resolve any disagreements and make sure that the group reaches a consensus
• To give fair feedback to each group member

Communication

• To be active in the Whatsapp group chat

Collaboration Objectives

After reading the collaboration skills framework, I feel that I am able to speak up during discussions and accept responsibility well. However, I sometimes do not give sensitive feedback but rather offer rather blunt comments. I am always willing to lead and help the group achieve its aim by making sure everyone is heard. 

1. To demonstrate conflict-resolution dispositions, such as the harmoniser when necessary

2. To always put myself in others' shoes in order to show sensitivity to group members' feelings

3. To lead by example, such as making sure I always meet deadlines and pay 100% effort to all the work I do

4. To ensure that group members all contribute even amounts

Communication Objectives

1. To ensure that the information in the video is not too complex so that the audience can stay engaged

2. To use literary conventions in voiceovers, such as rhetorical questions or imagery

3. To organise the media in the documentary well so that the audience can follow through and in the end, be informed of our topic
