Megatrends, the annual report, possibilities.
The successful leader and manager have two very important challenges: to scan the horizon and not be thrown into crisis by not seeing predictable surprises, and to recognize the longer, more pervasive trends that are in the distant future. An annual autopsy of the past year and a review of the years ahead will not only fulfill the requirements for an annual report, but will be a learning experience for the team. When we are open to new ideas, lead by inviting dialogue rather than demanding, and openly trust, believe in, and inspire others, the organization will also adopt these values as its operating framework. Our annual plans will then be living documents that create the roadmap for excellence.
