Episode 301: Your 2025 Leadership Review

As 2025 comes to a close, let’s press pause before pushing ahead into the New Year. We want to make the case that a deliberate year-end leadership review is not optional—it is essential. Too many leaders roll straight into the year with ‘bigger’ goals but carry over the same habits, skipping the hard reflection that drives real progress. A proper review goes beyond listing accomplishments; it asks whether your leadership actually mattered, where it created value, and how it impacted people and results. When treated as a growth conversation rather than an administrative exercise, a year-end review becomes the foundation for clarity, trust, and momentum. Highlights: Why effective leadership reviews must be reflective, celebratory, and strategic. Three core dimensions of a 2025 leadership review: value delivered, performance under pressure, and accountability How avoidance and slipping standards quietly undermine results. Turning reflection into action by setting one clear leadership theme and one defining outcome for 2026. Be 'intentional' and leverage technology and resources including ours. Why focus, discipline, and accountability are the keys to truly “crushing” your goals next year. Thank you for your continued support.
