I blinked and suddenly the calendar said June instead of January. It seems like yesterday that I was setting goals for 2014 and coaching my clients do the same. Alas, now its time for a mid-year review of said goals!
People managers should not underestimate the impact of coaching their people to success around individual and shared goals. Its one of the rare benefits that accrues to the organization as much as its employees, in that there are no hard costs associated with coaching conversations and there are often big returns on time and energy invested. As such, I implore all business leaders to do some version of a mid-year goal review via a coaching session with their team members.
