Each
New Day, Week, Month, and Year, brings time for reflecting on your personal goals and making
self-improvements. It is also a
great Opportunity to assess your current leadership skills, your strengths and
weaknesses, and to set goals for making positive changes. Like your personal resolutions, i.e., losing weight, organizing your
home, exercising, eating right, etc., leaders list their business resolutions
too.
Take
a long and objective look at your job and examine where you are now and where
you want to be at the end of this year. Review
your job description and your evaluations, then write down resolutions along
side of your personal resolutions. Compare
each side; which are similar, which crossover and take the same principles of
will power, determination and perseverance? Identify the obstacles and rewards. For each resolution, write specific goals and break those down into
specific steps in detail so you have a concrete plan for each.
