We all know it's important to keep track of and check in on our goals throughout the year, but we still manage to avoid it. In this week’s tip, I explore concrete ways to guide this process and give you questions to ask in these meetings.

Checking in on goals is critical for many reasons. It will…

• Ensure that you’re making progress toward the desired outcomes

• Keep employees motivated in their day-to-day work

• Give you a better standpoint from which to make decisions

• Create safe space to communicate honest, open feedback (both directions)

• Allow you to accurately report progress and pain-points to your boss

With a little planning now, you can set the trajectory for a more productive year.
