In order to promote your highest learning and growth, we encourage you to conduct a reflective assessment—that is, reflecting on what you’ve accomplished and what’s left over as a way to help your learning and to help you plan for 2010. This process will not take much of your time (30 minutes max) and if the questions are answered honestly and thoughtfully, we find the results will serve as a foundation for further growth and development. Here are the questions.
• What were your major accomplishments in 2009?
• What did you accomplish 2009 that you can build on in 2010?
• What didn’t you accomplish but intended to that needs to be modified or abandoned for 2010?
• What didn’t you accomplish because you procrastinated and now it should be a priority?
• What worked well for you during last year? Why?
• What didn’t work well for you during this last year? Why?
We recommend that you write your responses to the questions so you can use it as reference for alignment with your overall business goals, for strategic visioning, and to have as a comparative/quick guide for your next year’s reflective assessment. It is a leader’s role to understand what’s worked, what needs to be changed, modified or released and which direction to point resources for highest results. It doesn’t have to be a difficult and complicated process. What’s most important is: are you asking the questions and using the honest answers to you and your business’s advancement?
