The midway point is always a point of evaluation. As we near the midway point, we need to reflect on the goals established for 2017 and determine where we are in reaching those goals.

This period of evaluation provides a critical step in our approach to the remainder of the year.

Now is the time to make necessary corrections, adjusting either our plans or goals. At least three areas require consideration.

One, do we have the necessary resources to complete our goals for the year? If we are not half-way toward our goals, then it is possible we need additional resources.

Two, are the right people in the right positions to implement our plans? At times, we need to determine if the right people are in the right positions. If not, we may need to make changes.

Three, have we communicated appropriately the vision and essential steps to achieve it? Communication cannot be overstated. Unless everyone understands the vision and the steps needed to reach it, any attempt to reach our goals is hindered.

Let’s make sure we do not miss the opportunity to evaluate accordingly.
