Every year, most successful CEOs take inventory and create strategic plans for the coming year, not only for their organizations but also for themselves. As leaders, they know the importance of planning for their own development, which involves both reflection and introspection. They take a critical look at both their assets and liabilities, creating a personal balance sheet or scorecard for themselves. If you haven’t done this before, a good place to start is simply by asking yourself this question: What do I want people to say about my impact as a leader 10, 20 or 30 years from now?

It has often been said that bigger is not always better. That may be true when considering automobiles and the current price of gas, but it is never true when it comes to new ideas or personal dreams where thinking big is always better. Let me illustrate. Think back to when you were a child. Perhaps you dreamed that one day you would grow up, get married, and have children. A nice dream, right? And many of you have likely achieved some version of that dream. But what if you had dreamed instead that you would grow up and marry a billionaire? Sounds crazy, right?

For those of you who may have been coasting this summer, September is a great month to get back on track with your goals. Take time to dust them off and determine what you can reasonably accomplish between now and year-end. Then drill down what tactics will help you accomplish your goals. It’s as simple as that, right? Not really. If you're like most busy professionals you are probably feeling overwhelmed at best. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I find it helpful to create a series of lists to help me not only feel more organized but ultimately get more done.

Unless you have been living in a closet, you know that fuel costs are soaring, consumer prices are rising, and a fall election is looming ahead of us. On the work front, budgets are being slashed, projects are being put on hold or eliminated, salary increases are non-existent and hiring freezes have been implemented. If that doesn’t cause you to either run screaming or to want to bury your head in the ground, then read no further. However, if you are like most people, all of these things are bound to have an impact on your attitude and your work environment.

Has the pendulum swung too far in increasing productivity at the expense of employee work-life balance? In an article titled, Americans of All Stripes Are Sicker Than They Need to Be, Paul Krugman indicated that full-time American workers work, on average, about 46 weeks per year compared with 41 weeks for full-time British, French and German workers. One indication that this is taking a toll on American workers is that it appears that more employees are taking mental health days. According to a May 8th article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, more than one-third of U.S.

In many organizations, when times get tough things suddenly begin to contract en mass – budgets, projects, jobs and communication. Suddenly employees are left to wonder who or what is next? Optimism fades and suddenly confidence overall is down perhaps even yours. How can you cultivate confidence in these challenging times?

Have you ever taken a development assessment? Many organizations that I work with are now turning to behavior assessments and other types of personality trait testing for employees or prospective employees. Assessments can: 1. Help individuals better understand their strengths and position them for jobs that leverage those strengths, and help them create development plans to mitigate weaknesses. 2. Provide a common language to help improve communications between individuals and teams thereby enhancing interpersonal relationships and productivity.
