Today's the day we move into a new season and whether you are moving into fall or spring it's a great day to do some reflection and planning for the season ahead.
In today's hectic world of VUCA - an acronym which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous - it's even more important to find these micro-moments for planning. While we may not be able to undertake a full-blown planning process, short moments to reflect on how things have been and where you are going, individually and collectively can help with alignment, engagement, and focus.
This summer I was working with a great group of professionals in Australia, which really brought home how on a global basis our work patterns can be varied according to seasons. As such, please feel free to adjust the season here today.
Here are some questions to consider as we move into a new season:
What worked well in the last quarter/over the summer or winter was....
What didn't work so well was....
Key accomplishments over the summer/winter were....
Key learning was....
Looking ahead:

Key focus areas are....
My team's priorities this season are....
Something I want to do more of is....Less of is...
One habit I want to hone this fall/spring is....
One thing I want to stop doing is.....

Enjoy the colors of the season!
Best wishes,
