A Reflection Exercise Every Leader Should Do Before Year-End
Great leaders don’t just evaluate performance — they evaluate themselves . Before the year closes, take ten minutes and reflect: • What leadership decision had the biggest positive impact?• What moments challenged me — and what did I learn from them?• Where did my team grow the most this year?• What will I do differently in 2026? Reflection creates awareness.Awareness creates better leadership. Give yourself the space to acknowledge growth — your own and your team’s. #Leaders

Your Q1 Success Starts with the Decisions You Make Right Now
December isn’t just about wrapping up the year — it’s about shaping the one ahead. Leaders who wait until January to clarify expectations, set priorities, or invest in development start the year already behind. Instead, ask yourself:✔ Where do I want my team on January 15?✔ What clarity can I give them today?✔ Which 1–2 capabilities will determine our early success? Momentum isn’t created in January.It’s created now — quietly, intentionally, through smart leadership choices.

Small check-ins build trust, reduce stress, and give your team permission to be honest. Strong leaders make space.Exceptional leaders listen. #PeopleLeadership
