What Career Resolution Will You KEEP This Coming Year?

It’s pretty widely acknowledged that most New Year’s Resolutions don’t last.

Why don’t they last? After all the best of intentions went into writing them up
and committing to them.

Or did they?

It’s one thing to make up resolutions, and quite another to change your life AND
change your identity to stick with them!

YEP! We’re talking identity change here AND professional change at the same time when your New Year’s Resolutions have to do with moving your career forward.

So, let’s get seriously practical here and make your resolutions action items you CAN take.

For example:

*** Career Progress: By the end of next year where do you want to be in your career? What 3 steps MUST you take to help you get there? What are the action items associated with each one? How committed do you feel to taking those steps and making your goals come true?

*** Manage Up Better: Determine an agenda of no more than 3 items for every meeting you have with your manager or boss AND send it to them ahead of time. Then be sure to keep both of you focused on those items.

*** Delegate Better: What 3 items can you take off your plate and delegate to people who report to you or are in some way better suited to fulfill these action items than you are?

Notice that in each category I only asked you to define 3 items. Any more than that and you begin to allow for confusion, excuses, and procrastination.

Now, what’s your response to establishing and then keeping your own Career Resolutions?
