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!
