| It is almost that time of the year when we all come to a fork in the road - once again. While our intentions are invariably good, we generally take the same fork we always did before. | ||||||
| “You can't leap a
chasm in two leaps.” Anonymous |
||||||
| So my message to you today is to begin your planning cycle now, so when it comes time for your New Year's resolutions, you will already know where you - and your organization - are going. | ||||||
| “Suffer the pain of
discipline or suffer the pain of regret.” Unknown |
||||||
| Planning takes as much discipline as action - in fact, it is action. And as a leader - it is up to YOU. Your subordinates are going to be thinking about holiday parties, the presents they are going to give and get, New Years Eve parties - whatever. It is up to you to be looking at the bigger picture. As Abraham Lincoln said when emphasizing how crucial preparation is to success: | ||||||
| “If I had nine
hours to cut down a tree, I would spend six hours sharpening the
axe.” Abraham Lincoln |

| Annual meeting or retreat coming up? Let Twyman Towery help you make it a truly memorable event. Call (615) 370-3587 Website: http://www.twymantowery.com Email: tt@twymantowery.com |
||||||
| So start now. Plan that retreat with your top managers (with Twyman Towery as your facilitator of course), be open to their ideas and plan your new directions for the coming year. Be firm, but flexible: | ||||||
| “I am a man of
fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all
times.” Everett Dickson |
||||||
| So live up to your expectations of others by exercising your responsibilities for yourself. After all: | ||||||
| “There comes a
time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the
situation.” W.C. Fields |
||||||
So don't wait for that fuzzy headed New Years day to try to think about where you are going to lead your organization in the new year of 2005. Start now! For that speech, seminar, retreat or consulting session for your people, call or email Twyman Towery today. To assist leaders in helping their organization is what he enjoys most. |
||||||
| “Only the weak attempts to accomplish what he already
knows he can.” Stella Juarez |
