It's a leader's job to coach their team members to solve their problems and handle difficult situations. Sometimes we are so eager to help them (myself included!) that we may unintentionally get in the way.

When you set your team up for success, you set yourself up for success, too.

This episode provides three tips on how to help your team effectively manage their own challenges.

Your One Bold Move: Coach your team members to work through what comes their way by giving them the responsibility and encouragement they need.

I consider myself a goal-oriented person, but that doesn’t mean I love setting goals in a work environment. (What is a SMART goal anyway?!) Still, it’s a leader’s expectation to set goals with your team members, and show them you’re invested in their success.

Goalsetting should happen for new employees during onboarding and on an annual basis for all other employees. It may make sense to do this for project-based goals, too.

This episode provides five steps to get you started in setting goals for your team that actually work.

Your One Bold Move: Set meaningful goals with your team members that motivate them to achieve more than they thought possible and remember to celebrate progress along the way.
