And answer this question. Got it? Good. Now, I have just a few more questions I want you to answer before you close out… The post 7 questions you must ask yourself before you say goodbye to 2021 first appeared on Suzi McAlpine | The Art of Leadership.

2021 was another unpredictable year. Although we seemed more prepared for remote working and different ways of doing business, there were, as always, some unexpected curve balls. COVID-19 variants, hybrid working arrangements, and cancelled Christmas parties, among many other challenges, made for an interesting year of work. If there is anything we can learn from the past few years, it is to expect the unexpected.

Many people strive to improve themselves in one way or another. Whether it’s getting more sleep and exercise, or spending more time doing the things we love, our ideal selves drive us to be better. They symbolize our belief in our own potential to live in alignment with our values. The drive to improve is also why strategies and tools that enable us to track our behaviors are so potentially gratifying.

Most large organizations are led and managed very systematically, and they pride themselves on that. Managers and leaders within those organizations are usually smart, educated, and want to make data-driven, evidence-based decisions. However, when it comes to innovation, that can be a part of the problem as Clayton Christensen famously pointed out. Many leaders these days are well aware of the problem, but even if they are, they may still have a hard time leading innovation because the approach

As organizations focus on closing out the year strong, most leaders already have one eye on the new year and what they hope to achieve as a business. If your organization doesn’t have a formal goal-setting process in place (or you have one that needs some work) this is a great opportunity to make a big impact. HR professionals can influence business success by championing a clear framework that aligns the organization — from the C-suite to each individual contributor — around shared goals.
