New Year’s resolutions can help you to focus on both personal and business goals by setting them and sticking to them. Leaders can also use New Year’s resolutions to set goals for growth. Here are five resolutions we think leaders should set for themselves this new year! 1. Feedback is a gift, make sure you give it! People often think of feedback negatively, but if you use it as a data point to improve yourself, you can change that association with positivity. Resolve to ask for feedback regularly and provide input when requested. Make sure whoever you’re interacting with is open to feedback as well as yourself when seeking more. You can learn more about yourself and may find things you never thought of to improve yourself for the future. 2. Listening can add insight Are you truly listening to people when they speak to you? Take the resolution of actively hearing what people are saying and see how your perspective changes over time with new insights from your conversations. Not only will it reveal new ideas, but you can also get buy-in and trust from the people you listen to wholeheartedly. 3. Bring a Spirit of Curiosity to Everything Coming into situations with curiosity allows you to ask questions and learn through a different lens. By following a resolution of bringing curiosity to everything you do, you can find new ideas and learn more about everything you do. As Albert Einstein once said, ‘The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing”. 4. Hone in your Emotional Intelligence Skills Setting up a resolution for improving your Emotional Intelligence can help take your relationships to the next level. Learning your triggers and the triggers of others you interact with can positively affect your ability to connect with others. Understanding emotional states and other EQ skills can be acquired through practice and discipline and can help you take relationships to the next level. 5. Read More Books! Reading holds a wealth of knowledge with idea’s you may have never thought possible! Make an effort to read more and learn about subjects like EQ, Leadership or anything that interests you. Taking the time to read also helps you to relax and become enthralled with a topic or story. As Dr. Seuss once said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go”. There are many more resolutions you can make for the new year so make sure to think about what matters most within your world and create decisions for your future. Remember that you have to put in the effort to accomplish these resolutions to fulfill your goals!

It’s no different during the holidays, and within your leadership team, you should work to spice up your typical engagement plans for the holidays! Decorating your offices The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work, so it makes sense to try to make the space as festive and exciting as possible. With the upcoming holidays, it’s the perfect excuse to get the decorations out. Use the time to pour on the creativity with your teams by decorating the office and desks with holiday cheer. End of Year Recognition Awards Recognition plays a massive part in how your people feel appreciated within your office, and making sure they know they are valued is simple and effective. Not everyone likes to recognized in the same manner, so get to know your people and what they appreciate. Whether public or private, aligning with the person’s goals will show that you care about them. It could be something as simple as telling them “great job”. Other times it may take something bigger such as a promotion or monetary awards. The point is to be personal with whatever recognition you plan to give. Personalized Holiday Greetings Handwritten notes are a rarity in the digital age. It may seem like a small thing to write a custom holiday card, but it can help show your care and interest beyond just work-related recognitions. The larger your team may be, the harder it can be for everyone to know what one another does. Writing a more personalized note will help connect you to your team. Don’t just write the same thing for everyone. Instead, use your knowledge and skills in EQ to find the currency of your employees and deliver it accordingly. End of Year Summary and New Year Preparation Your company has had a great year, and it is essential to let your employees know where you finished, what went well and how to improve for the next year. Employees will feel more inspired and integrated into your company if they understand the difference they are making in the company. Talk about how they affected the year positively. These are just a few things you can do as a leadership team this holiday season to show your employees you care. Whatever you do, remember that authenticity and effort can take your engagement ideas from standard to amazing and personal!
