A Manager's Annual Plan

Over the holiday I give a lot of thought to what topics to start the year with. I review your feedback and questions. (Your comments and questions are always welcome on the Management Forum bulletin board.) Based on that, I have prepared A Manager's Annual Plan. It is a multi-part, chronological series on how to analyze and improve your organization.

• Does the organization have goals?
• What are they?
• Are they reachable?
• What do I need to reach them?
• Have I got the right people and other resources?
• How do I get them?
• How do I communicate the mission?
• How can I be a better leader?
• What if they don't follow?
