Product Game Plan

5 reflective questions to set you on a productive path


Listen Later

As December comes to a close, I like to revisit my year. From a fiscal year perspective, I review the goals of my mid-year in-flight programs.

  1. Are your programs on track, and can you measure their trajectory? 
  2. What must occur from January through June to accomplish your goals? 
  3. Then, what strategic business outcomes can you plan for and fulfill to meet goals between July and December?


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Another way I reflect on my year is to assess if my work compelled me to evolve how I interacted with my customers, partners, peers, stakeholders, and management. 

  1. Did I target and act on my professional development goals to level up my skills and add one new habit to my professional operating model, making my goals a reality?
  2. Did I receive or seek out feedback from others about how I can evolve my techniques for interacting with the teams I work with?
  3. Did I cultivate any new customers and partners into advisory roles this year?
  4. Looking beyond myself, who did I mentor or support with their role or career?
