As a
business, resolutions are an informal way to get us all thinking about what we
want to achieve in a fresh year.
Of
course, there are a lot of funny personal and business resolutions.
One of
my favourite’s this year was on Ellen, when a young lady wanted to get past
Level 183 on Candy Crush. It took an
Harvard Graduate to assist her!
Not to mention the young woman who was resolving to be more patient with her children and drink better wine.

We
resolved to:
·
Spend more time with people and less with systems
·
Encourage and reward innovative thinking
·
Embrace consistent management processes across the
business
·
Share decision making processes so that people feel
included
·
Share knowledge and skills every day
·
Place personal information management into the hands
of the individual staff member
·
Work with the Decision Tree concept, empowering people
while reducing risk
·
Create a positive working environment every day
·
Emphasise team work, with the same objectives
·
Enhance mentoring, coaching and induction programs.
Most of
these are already in place, but re-stating them brings them back into focus.
Not
everybody believes resolutions work, though.
New Year’s Day… now is the accepted time to make your regular annual
good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
Whether you like
them or think they are pointless, by doing it in a group, the process itself
builds team spirit and promotes creativity.
If you haven’t done
it yet, give it a try. You might be
pleasantly surprised.
