You’ve likely changed your organization with success over the last two years, and now can be a wonderful time to hone in on what values you want to see in your organization.

As a leader, you have both a responsibility and an opportunity to harness the creativity on your team and move away from critical finger-pointing and toward collaborative problem solving.

What if the quality of the questions we ask directly influenced our ability to respond to what’s coming?

As leaders it’s part of our unwritten job description to find the diamonds in the dirt. To look for the positive opportunities in the negative challenges. To encourage people to tend to each other even as you work on how you’re showing up under stress. What will you carry forward into 2021?

It may be tempting to focus on what went wrong this year. There’s the stress of keeping the business running with pandemic shut downs and we’re trying our best to stay connected using online tools. No one knows how long this uncertainty will last.

We can appreciate what is going right while still hoping things could be better.
