It’s a useful exercise to reflect on the previous year and strategize for a better plan in the year to come. Here are the most powerful exercises to prepare you and your team for success.
1. Assess your wins and losses.
Take the previous year into consideration (literally!) and ask yourself: What were our biggest accomplishments last year? What steps and strategies did we take to reach these accomplishments? Which t steps and strategies did NOT work? Any failures or losses that you saw last year? Was there a reasoning behind this and what lessons did we learn from it?
We’re constantly in a state of learning, so take your strengths and weaknesses from the previous year and turn it into a proper plan for the new year.
2. Full team review.
No one leader has all of the answers, so look to your team for answers! Try creating an anonymous survey, like SurveyMonkey, to hear feedback on you as a leader, as well as other team members. Based on the feedback you may find that you need to hire additional help or even be more available to your employees. Whatever the outcome it is a really effective way to bring the team together to keep a positive environment in the workplace.
3. Strategize and set SMART goals.
After you’ve made your company assessments and reviewed the team as a whole you can start prioritizing and putting strategies into place using SMART goals. This is an incredibly powerful guide for goal setting and can help you to be more productive.
4. Share your priorities.
Let it be a team effort! Share this years goals and priorities with your team and delegate roles as needed. Add these goals to the office calendar or white board as a daily reminder. Everyone should take part in improving workflows to allow the practice to become more efficient.
5. Never stop learning.
Take control of your development as a leader by making a plan of action items that you will commit to for the year. Again, don’t be afraid to ask your team or close friends for advice on how you can improve as a leader. Look into webinars or workshops that focus on areas of interest or that you might find valuable to improve your skill set.
