I love the Harvard Business Review blogs. It’s where all the great research they do gets turned into practical guidance that can make a real difference!
Melissa Raffoni wrote a terrific article, brief-enough-to-be-read-quickly, but meaty enough to be invaluable long term. In a nutshell, she identifies characteristics of successful CEOs as well as signs of under-performers. Here are her 3 questions to ask yourself as CEO as you set your goals for each New Year:
- If there was only one thing I could do to improve my business, what would it be and how would I make it happen?
- If there was only one thing I could focus on to improve my personal performance, what would that be and how would I make it happen?
- What messages am I not listening to or refusing to confront in my business and personal performance and how am I going to overcome that this year?
Don’t miss this! And have a happy and prosperous New Year.
