A few things to consider as a summary of my 12 months of ideas as you move into 2022.<\/p>\n
-You get the behavior you reward . . . I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s employees, children, the government, or customers \u2013 if you don\u2019t like the behavior(s) you are getting stop looking at the behavior and take a serious look at the contributors to it \u2013 because you are either tolerating the behavior or you are contributing to it, and as long as you do either, it will continue!<\/p>\n
-You are responsible to people not for them . . . You are responsible to your employees, customers, kids, and spouses, etc. but you are not responsible for their behaviors; decisions, actions, mistakes, successes, achievements, etc.<\/p>\n
-If you don\u2019t invest in the consistent improvement of yourself or your employee\u2019s; skills, attitudes, and\/or behaviors \u2013 don\u2019t expect anything to change for the better in the future. It\u2019s a common quote<\/p>\n
\u2013 \u201cdoing the same things and expecting different results is a mild form of insanity.\u201d I\u2019ll leave it there.<\/p>\n
-If you don\u2019t like life\u2019s outcomes take a serious look at your actions . . . Everything in life has a consequence \u2013 some are short-term and others can take years, some are negative and some are positive. In the end, however, if you want different outcomes sooner or later you are going to have to reevaluate the contributing actions, choices, and\/or decisions.<\/p>\n
-You were not put on this earth for the approval of others . . . This one is simple \u2013 as long as you are in \u201capproval of others mode\u201d you will never become or accomplish who you could have been or do what you could have achieved.<\/p>\n
-You will not accomplish 100% of the goals you don\u2019t set. Goals are not about achievement, but the life direction they create. So, without them, you may tend to get lost from time to time. Having spent time lost in life in the past I can tell you it\u2019s not worth it. Create a clear direction this year and break it down into manageable steps, actions, and accountability.<\/p>\n
-Don\u2019t let other people or circumstances determine your beliefs, behavior, values, or attitudes. When you turn any of these over to others or your environment you lose control of; yourself, your life, its\\ outcomes, your potential, and even your purpose or mission. This is a high price to pay.<\/p>\n
Yes, I can give you many other ideas to consider, but most people\u2019s attention span today doesn\u2019t go beyond 300 words – so here is my last one \u2013 on second thought – I\u2019ll let you figure this one out on your own . . .<\/p>\n
