Part 3 of 4 of The Leadership Journey Insights: Lessons from 2024 and a Vision for 2025
As we turn our attention to the new year, let us focus on the actionable steps leaders can take to build on the momentum gained from 2024.
Leadership is about intentionality - and the choices you make at the start of the year can set the tone for what follows.
?
Clarify Your Vision
Great leaders start with clarity so the question is: “What is your vision for 2025?”
?
Take time to define what success looks like for you, your team, and your organization. Your vision doesn’t need to be perfect, but it does need to be compelling.
A clear vision provides a sense of direction and aligns everyone towards a common goal.
?
Think about these questions as you clarify your vision:
?
Write your vision down, share it with your team, and revisit it regularly. A vision that is seen and heard is a vision that drives action.
?
Invest in Relationships
Success in 2025 will not happen in isolation. Strong relationships are the foundation of every high-performing team. As you plan for the upcoming year, consider how you can deepen trust and foster collaboration in order to create an environment where people feel valued and heard.
A great way to establish rapport with your team is to schedule regular 1-on-1’s with them where you have the chance to celebrate their contributions and make time for open dialogue. Leaders who make relationships a priority build cultures where people thrive.
