6 Things for 2011

We were in the middle of our strategic planning. One of the things that was on the plate on the personal front is to think of 3 things / behaviors that each one of us should encourage and discourage this 2011. Here is mine :

3 Things / Behaviors I will encourage

1. Encourage sense of ownership in the team and trust more that guidance and coaching will resolve capabilities gaps than micro-management

2. Show more initiative and strategic thinking in owning issues ad challenges than being reactive and tactical

3. Learn more to respect weekends as time for the family

3 Things / Behaviors I will discourage

1. Unhealthy work habits (i.e. late night/weekend works) and vices (i.e.smoking) that adversely impact work life balance

2. Shooting from the hip when dealing with difficult situations and seemingly unreasonable colleagues

3. Unnecessary and unproductive travels
