Do you have a crystal-clear vision for 2020, or are you losing sight of the coming year amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and end-of-year business activities?
Although it’s important to wrap up this decade in a timely and orderly fashion, it’s also vital for you to plan and craft a vision for next year. You will need to review the data metrics and key performance indicators of 2019’s successes, knowing you and your team can always do better. Make incremental improvement one of your main goals for 2020!
Of course, practical planning methods such as budgeting and annual performance reviews are essential. But the more specific your vision, the better. For example, some CEOs set a theme for the coming year. Themes can be effective in terms of rallying your team around clear goals and thus making the New Year seem less overwhelming and more manageable. Communication of expectations is critical.
Your theme could revolve around increasing sales, improving training and skills, the launch of a new product or service, etc. Of course, you don’t have to ignore other goals, but focusing on one to begin with will speed up the planning process and make the segue into next year much smoother.
As a leader, you’re responsible for creating the energy and enthusiasm around the vision for the company’s future. Make sure you have the right people, resources and procedures in place to get the momentum going toward turning that vision into a reality.
Starting the new year with a focused, communicated vision will lay a foundation for a great 2020!
