Close up

How does your organization look at close range? Looking in from the outside, at a distance, everything can look perfect. It’s the “grass is greener on the other side of the fence” model. Mid-September is a good time to stop and assess closely:

• Where have we come this year?
• What factors have influenced our decisions and direction?
• Who has impacted our organization from inside? From outside?
• What is the objective we want to hold front and center between now and the end of the year?

What are your observations as you look close up?
