How To Do A Year-End Review For Leaders and Teams

The People Leaders Podcast

We don’t know what kind of year you’ve had to date but whatever it’s been, now is a great time to review how the year has been for you in the context of being a leader.If you still haven’t got the results you were hoping for in 2019, hang in there, you may be closer than you realise. And if you did get the results you were looking for, well done! And if you happen to be reading this or listening to the episode long after it was published, anytime is a good time for a review so don’t think you have to wait till the end of the year to do this process.
You can do the review process on your own or with your team
Teams often find the process energising as they feed off each other’s insightsIf you are doing it with the team, you have the choice of doing it collectively or individually then having everyone share
Start with a large square drawn on a sheet (or whiteboard, etc) and divide it into 4 equal squares
In the top left note all your achievements for the yearIn the top right note all the lessons learned from your achievements
In the bottom left note all your mistakes and challenges for the year
Resist being judgemental about the mistakesIn the bottom right note all the lessons learned from the mistakes and challenges
Based on the lessons learned, how will you approach things differently in the year ahead?
