Guidance from Dzigbordi K. Dosoo: Preparation for Upcoming Cycles
As 2022 nears its end, it's an opportune moment to assess our progress and preparedness for the upcoming year. Reflection and evaluation are crucial for understanding our accomplishments, shortcomings, and growth opportunities in the past 12 months.
The increasing cacophony of political, technological, and environmental noise in our surroundings can easily distract us from focusing on the essentials. To navigate this complex landscape, it's essential to scrutinize our options carefully, seeking clarity and readiness for the new season.
Consider asking yourself the following introspective questions to accurately reflect on the recent past:- What were my goals for this year?- Did I achieve most of them?- Are there any areas where I could have improved my approach?- As a leader, did I meet expectations? As a team member, did I contribute effectively and bring necessary soft skills to the table?
Once you have thoroughly assessed your performance, it's time to ponder whether you are well-prepared to face the challenges of 2023. Resilience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence are essential aspects of being ready for the upcoming year.
According to Deloitte Brandvoice (2019), readiness involves asking the right questions, gathering accurate data, and making honest assessments about matters relevant to our mission, personal goals, and the world around us. Being ready means being socially, psychologically, and physically prepared to take on whatever comes our way.
Preparation can manifest in various forms, depending on our objectives. Firstly, set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (SMART) targets for the upcoming year. Having a clear vision facilitates decision-making and optimizes performance.
By letting go of past failures and limitations, reconnecting with the basics, practicing mindfulness, and enhancing communication skills, you will be well on your way to facing the uncertainties of 2023 with confidence and clarity.
Lastly, investing in your communication abilities can prove incredibly beneficial.
