Often in large corporate settings workers diligently tap away at their mundane lives following the dreary path that they had setup for themselves the day before.

To lead motivate and support a group of people working towards the same goal is an enormous responsibility if done correctly. The Path Goal Theory guides leaders on how to accomplish that task. This theory sees people floundering in their spare time and instead of calling them bums or lazy, shows them how to connect this perceived “free time” with the major goals that have yet to be accomplished.

Path Goal theory will help many companies and management teams because it is simple, easy to learn, and doesn’t cost much to begin
