What kinds of resolutions should you consider? Here are few to start your brainstorming for your business.
Resolve to.
Once you have created resolutions for the business, consider these to elevate your leadership skills.
Ultimately whether the resolutions are for the business as a whole or just for your personal development, it is critical you stick to them to make the new year better than the last. So…start with the WHY in mind. Why do you want to make the improvements or change? What do you hope will change with these resolutions? Visualize the outcome and make the goals realistic, relevant, and attainable. That doesn’t mean you don’t push yourself or your team, but it does mean you aren’t focused on “pie in the sky” ideas that will never really happen or make a difference in your business.
Schedule activities to force you and your team to drive toward the results you want until the behavior becomes a habit.
If 2020 has taught us anything is that change happens in an instant. Twelve months from now you can be celebrating the victories you have achieved. But you must start today. You can’t procrastinate because the next big crisis is coming. We don’t know what form it will take, but we know that since change is constant, as business leaders we must be ready for anything.
Whether you are facing steep challenges or experiencing dramatic declines, remember it is what you do next that can spell success or failure. So, strap in, and get ready for the next rollercoaster ride. 2021, here we come!
