new year resolution, anyone?
Why new year resolution? Because things change, don't they? No matter how well we plan, the unexpected intervenes. We respond and before we know it, abandon our carefully crafted resolutions to exercise, read more or learn to speak French.
Yet the tradition of seizing upon the new year for beginning afresh continues to hold great potential -- it focuses our staffs and gives us a
shared sense of direction and purpose. That's why we invest so much
energy into establishing big organizational goals like redesigned Web
sites, new newscast formats, or the integration of our Web operations with
our print or broadcast newsrooms.
But what about me? What about personal goals? What about my resolutions to become a better leader? Isn't it true that our ability to achieve those big organizational goals rides on the quality of our leadership?
Of course it's true, and that's why the best leaders challenge
themselves with personal resolutions -- commitments to adopting behaviors that will make them more effective leaders.
That sounds good -- but how can a leader stay committed to a yearly
agenda of personal resolutions in the face of such unrelenting change and
pressure?
Maybe we need to rethink our time frame.
Maybe, instead of setting resolutions for an entire year, let's choose
a resolution or two for this week. Who knows where we'll all be by
spring? Let's set a goal or two that we can achieve by Friday -- and maybe, just maybe, we'll build on that achievement next week -- and the week after that.
No matter what you resolve to do, here's one last suggestion: Schedule
it. Whether it's a conversation, a learning session or a brainstorming
meeting, putting it on your schedule makes it much more likely to
withstand the forces of the unexpected.
We all need personal goals. And despite all that's happening around us,
we can keep our New Year's resolutions -- one week at a time.
(Note: I filched this from my favorite site---poynter.org.---with few prunings here and there.)
