Today we’re sharing insight from guest blogger, Mike Natalizio, CEO at HNI Risk Services. We hope you enjoy Mike’s wisdom and perspective.

Effective leadership is all about clarity. Being clear about where you want to go, what you want to achieve, and how you're going to get there.  

This level of clarity doesn’t come from a "to-do" list of loosely tied together ideas that aren’t truly tied back to WHY you do what you do.

As business leaders, we all want our organizations to grow. Unfortunately, crushing your tactical "to do" list isn't going to deliver you to the fountain of perpetual growth.  

New technology and accounting software has made bookkeeping and accounting easier for small to mid-sized businesses, but it hasn’t entirely eliminated costly accounting mistakes. Some mistakes may have minimal effect to a company’s financials and can be corrected. While other mistakes are more serious and could have a significant impact by misrepresenting a company’s true financial health. In this blog, we’ll review five of the most common accounting errors and how to avoid them.

My best advice comes from a painful lesson I’ve had to learn more than once.

Less is more. 

I have a nasty habit of taking on more than I can handle. It’s been a very difficult lesson to learn and I have no idea how much it really has impacted me because I can’t ever get that time back. 

Navigating the health care system can be a tricky and windy road. Not knowing and understanding basic health information can cost people money and affect their wellbeing.  

You’ve probably read or heard by now that in late December 2017, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal (D.C. Circuit) vacated the EEOC Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) wellness incentive rules, effective January 1, 2019. This is true.

You may have also heard that this means the entire framework of wellness plans as we know them are now in question. This is an exaggeration.

We are going to examine the relevant parts of American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) v. the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), 1:16-CV-02113-JDB to help you sort fact from fiction and be better informed about what is coming in 2018 and 2019 regarding wellness plan incentive rules.

Just like Queen Elsa, we know ice can be an unwanted annoyance. But unfortunately we don’t have Elsa’s ability to make frozen things, like pipes and ice dams, disappear with an act of true love.

From our employee-owners to you and your family, we wish you a safe and joyous holiday!

‘Tis the season of traveling! With so much to look forward to, people often forget to think about what they’re leaving behind.
