Do you know where you want to be and do you know where you are on your time horizon? Often we're just living in the now and figuring out things on the go. As leaders in organization, it's crucial for us to be in tune with ourselves and where we want to be.
I highly recommend you to stop and look five years ahead. And look five years past and look where you are on that time horizon. Are you in a place where you want to be or are you not in a place where you want to be? If you're not in a place where you want to be, how do you get towards where you want to be?
And then take steps into that direction. If you are in the place where you want to be, how do you get yourself to the next level? Look into the future and look into the past to understand where you are today, to look then ahead and go to where you want to be.
