Thank you, 2022

As the year comes to a close, it's important to take a step back and reflect on the past 12 months. This is especially true for those of us in leadership roles, as the way we lead can have a huge impact on the people we work with and the organizations we work for.

One important aspect of positive leadership is the ability to continuously grow and improve. One way to do this is by reviewing the year and considering everything that has happened. This can help us identify areas where we excelled and areas where we may need to focus on improvement.

Here are a few key things to consider as you review the year and plan for growth in your positive leadership style:

1. Reflect on your leadership style and behaviors. What have you done well this year? What could you have done better? Consider seeking feedback from team members, colleagues, and mentors to get a well-rounded perspective on your leadership.
2. Consider the outcomes of your leadership. Did you achieve the goals you set for yourself and your team? If not, what held you back and how can you course correct for the future?
3. Think about the needs and goals of your team. Have you been able to support and empower your team members to reach their full potential? If not, what can you do differently moving forward?
4. Evaluate your work-life balance. Are you taking care of yourself and setting boundaries to prevent burnout? Your well-being has a direct impact on your ability to lead effectively.
5. Look for opportunities for growth and development. What new skills or knowledge could you acquire to enhance your leadership style? Consider training, networking events, or seeking out new opportunities for learning.

By taking the time to review the year and consider these factors, you can set yourself up for success in the year ahead. Continuously growing and improving as a leader is crucial for the success of your team and organization.
