Hard to believe that the year is already half over, isn’t it? So, this is the perfect time for a mid-year check in.

Here are a couple quick questions:

• What are your annual goals for this year?
• Are they balanced so that you are getting more financial freedom, fun, and fulfillment in your life?
• Are you half-way there?
• Do you have things in the works to ensure you will hit them all by the end of this year?
• Do you know where to go to get help if you’re falling behind?

Consider these questions as you’re enjoying the family BBQ this weekend. I hope your responses are insightful and lead you to a renewed sense of excitement for the 2nd half of the year.

As you think of the actions you will take and help you might seek, remember to include listening to the guest interviews at the Institute of Success and Goal Achievement – we’re here to help accelerate your results and get you more financial freedom, fun, and fulfillment.

As a leader, do you ever have challenges in getting your team to perform to your level of expectation?

Our Guest on the Institute of Success and Goal Achievement, Paul Thornton, teaches managers and leaders when and how to use the three basic management styles—directing, discussing, and delegating. We’ll discuss how leaders can communicate, coach, provide feedback, make decisions, and monitor performance when using each style. Using the appropriate style of management helps motivate employees and ensures accountability for meeting individual, departmental and organizational goals.

Our discussion will give you an overview:
• How to determine when each style is appropriate
• Practice using each style
• Discuss the skills needed to be proficient in using each style
• Recognize some of the pitfalls in using each style
• Identify your preferred leadership style

We look forward to having you join us for this interview!
