 The Oxford Dictionary defines the word resolute as being admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering. If we are to take this definition to heart, then our personal and professional resolutions should be carefully considered. True resolution demands a degree of commitment and clear purpose, not always well-defined in our haste to proclaim change and make a fresh start. As leaders, what are the expectations and resolutions for ourselves and our organizations in the new year? Resolution implies a clear purpose and aim point. Is that purpose or goal clearly understood even by ourselves? How about our people? Perhaps a worthy resolution for leaders will be to commit to more clearly outlining the path toward reaching purposeful goals already in place. Maybe we don't actually need new goals and will be better served in gaining an increased community understanding of existing objectives. Lead well this week.
