The Easiest Part of Goal Setting?
Actually setting the goals — the challenge lies in the execution and follow-through.
Key to Staying on Track:
Build consistent routines for follow-up and accountability — regular check-ins keep goals alive and aligned.
When Goals Are Missed – The Leader’s First Step:
Focus on understanding the situation and coaching performance, not jumping straight to discipline.
For Leaders Who Struggle With Coaching:
Either develop your own coaching skills or delegate coaching responsibilities to someone more experienced — don't ignore the need for leadership development.
Making Goal-Tracking Meetings More Effective:
Share a clear agenda and objectives ahead of time — this keeps the meeting focused, efficient, and impactful.
The Role of Financial Statements:
Think of them as the scorecard — regular meetings and performance check-ins help the team understand the numbers and work to improve them.
