現在您已有相當客觀貴的地區狀況清單，您準備好思考去設定目標。請牢記，一個有效能的目標必須是：

Now that you have a fairly objective inventory of the status of your district, you are ready to think about setting goals. Keep in mind that an effective goal is

• 可以衡量的。目標必須是可用數量加以說明。例如，〝從事籌組新的扶輪社〞就沒有〝在6月30日以前授證成立兩個新的扶輪社〞來的有效率。可於年底做客觀評估的一個可衡量的目標。

• Measurable. The goal should be stated in quantifiable terms. For example, “Work on organizing new clubs” is less effective than “Charter two new clubs by 30 June.” A measurable goal can be objectively evaluated at the end of the year.

• 可以達成的。您的目標必須是實際可行的，也就是可以根據你預期在完成目標的時間範圍內，所能獲得或期待能夠獲得的資源，包括物質與義工奉獻的時間，來完今的目標。

• Achievable. Your goals should be realistic, based on the material and volunteer resources you have or can expect to have, within the time frame established for your district’s goals.

• 富有挑戰性的。為了達成目標需藉由您及您在下一年度所領導的那些人一起要有遠見、計劃、發揮團隊精神盡時盡力與追蹤觀察來達成目標。

• Challenging. Achieving your goal will require vision, planning, teamwork, effort, and follow-through by you and those whom you will lead next year.

• 可以分享的。應該要有機會讓即將負責達成這些目標的人發表他們針對個別目標的意見。尤其是地區委員會的主委及助理總監們應該要參與目標設定的過程。

• Shared. Those who will be implementing the goals should have a voice in developing some of the specific details for each goal. In particular, district committee chairs and assistant governors should be included in the goal-setting process.

設定地區目標時請考慮下列幾個主要的地區活動：

Consider these key district activities when setting district goals:

• 社員成長及防止社員流失

• Membership growth and retention

• 服務計劃

• Service projects

• 參與國際扶輪的計劃活動

• Participation in Rotary International programs

• 透過參與及捐獻來支持扶輪基金會的活動

• Support of The Rotary Foundation programs through participation and contributions

• 培養未來的領導人

• Developing future leaders

• 出席地區的會議

•  Attendance at district meetings

• 公共關係

• Public relations

• 地區行政(例如，地區委員會的效率、溝通、地區檔案等)

• District administration (e.g., effectiveness of district committees, communication, district files)

利用地區清單及前面的地區主要活動清單來建立您總監任期內的初步目標。選擇最須被重視的項目來設定目標。請牢記，現在只是目標設定的期初階段，在您收到他人的建議和承諾後，您的目標會更加的堅定。請準備在地區團隊訓練研習會與您的地區領導團隊分享您預設的目標，並請確實得到他們的支持。贏得了全體一致的同意之後，會確保一年的服務有眾所皆知的確定目標，而這也是達成目標的方法。

Using the District Inventory and the preceding list of key district activities, establish preliminary goals for your year as governor. Select goals that address those items most in need of attention. Remember that the goal-setting process has just begun and that it is strengthened when you receive input and commitment from others. Be prepared to share your preliminary goals with your district leadership team at your district team training seminar and ensure that your goals are supported by all. This consensus approach will guarantee a year of service that has clear, known goals and the means to achieve them.
