Supporting Yourself
by John Ruh
- Do you know what your goals are for 2012 and how they fit into your vision?
- Do you know why they are important and what values will guide you?
- Are you supported properly to achieve them?
I think most people think of support as something that happens to them. I think of it as something that you create. Without the right support, your 2012 vision, mission, goals and values (be they individual, company or departmental) probably will be difficult to achieve. So I want you to think about finding ways to develop the support you want and need to make 2012 a successful year instead of leaving it up to chance.
What Does Supporting Yourself Mean?
Support means different things to different people. It covers any and all things people need to achieve their stated outcomes. It starts with honestly looking at yourself and your situation and doing an assessment so you can see what you need.
What is obvious to most people is that high achievers have clear outcomes that they are focused on reaching. They take responsibility/ownership for these outcomes and are deeply committed to achieving them. What is not so obvious is that they are also skilled at creating the support they need to accomplish that outcome.
My Personal Support
Take a moment and email your thoughts on this to me. If you want, invite me to discuss this topic with you and/or your team and perhaps also view Joel Barker’s video on The Power of Vision. Remember, my purpose is to assist you at creating the support you truly need.
Best of Success in 2012!
I remain committed to supporting your vision, goals, mission and values.
Sincerely,
John Ruh
