As Peter Drucker wrote, \u201ctaking action without thinking is the cause of every failure.\u201d To achieve success this year, stop and focus on these three questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>What?<\/strong> Identify a measurable goal that is at least both achievable and integral to the success of the mission of your team, department, or organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Who?<\/strong> Build your core team of mentors, colleagues, and SMEs (subject matter experts) to turn to throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>When?<\/strong> Set milestones, times to check in on progress in the near and mid-term to ensure you\u2019re making progress on your MITs (Most Important Things).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Choose a strategic training initiative you have for the coming year. Then, open your calendar (on your computer, smart phone, or in your notebook) to 180 days from now, and ask yourself, \u201cWhat do we need to have done by then in order to be on track or ahead of schedule with this project?\u201d My advice, go ahead and write a three to five-paragraph response to that question 180 days from today on your calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A productive leader achieves success by identifying and qualifying what that outcome will look like, who is involved in making it happen, and what positive impact it will have on the organization.
