Last week we welcomed 2026 with the content below and decided to re-share it as so many of us were on vacation. We shared:
Welcome to 2026! Albert Einstein said “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow” which is something to reflect upon, but being successful requires more.
Start by assessing what went well in 2025 in both your personal and professional life:
Also, review the checklist below for changes/enhancements:
Vision and Mission Statements
Make sure your written vision and mission statements are clearly communicated and shared with your organization. We suggest you post them in public areas.
Goals and Tasks
Ensure ALL goals and tasks support your vision and mission and are meaningful to those that must support them.
Metrics
Institute milestones and target dates so you have the ability to track progress.
Revisit strengths and weaknesses (individual and organizational)
Understand and share the strengths of team members and the entire organization and link them with goal achievement and development planning.
Development plans
Document developmental goals; include training needs and target dates. This could include cross training, on the job training, in-house training or outside coaching and development. Revisit them monthly.
Career Planning
Document your career intentions with timelines and mentor others to do the same.
Reward and recognition system
Consistently recognize accomplishments based on achieving goals.
Communication model
Understand how to best communicate with your team and organization and ensure others clearly understand what is expected of them.
Succession Planning
This is often overlooked; groom your own replacement and build bench strength so every position has 1 or 2 individuals identified as possible replacements.
May 2026 provide you with new opportunities, fulfilled goals, and a work culture rich in relationships!
