Don’t Wait for the New Normal. Create it.

Here’s a quick reminder from March 20th of last year:

And only 12 months later, here we are. 
Everyone is now talking/asking about the New Normal or the Next Normal.
And you may be wondering too.  What’s it going to look like?

Inquiring minds want to know.  But don’t wait to find out what the future holds.

Create it.

As always, the future won’t just happen to arrive.  Leaders, their vision, decisions, and the randomness of life will combine to create it.
So be an active part in that creation.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Where are we going as a firm (or department / team / etc.) and why?
2. Given that, how will I lead?
3. Who among my Peers and Direct Reports will help me get there?
4. How will I support them?

The last 12 months have obviously been incredibly challenging.  Leaders have had to lead in the fog of limited knowledge.
Congratulations for navigating through all the confusion.

Now where do we go from here?
