Which is not a concept supported by Management by Objectives (MBO) philosophy?
  1. Create succinct, reasonable objectives
  2. Continually revisit to assess whether objectives are being met
  3. Work constantly to gain the backing of management
  4. Take corrective action when necessary
  5. All are supported concepts
Explanation
Answer: c - The Management by Objectives assumes that you already have the backing of management.

The other three answers actually comprise this philosophy: create clear objectives, revisit your objectives to gauge where you are with respect to those objectives, and take action if necessary to get your project back on track.

Key Take Away: Experienced project managers realize the support of management to a project is vital. Don’t dismiss it too readily without doing your best to obtain it first. It could prove pivotal later on.
