10 Questions to Ask Yourself as the Recovery Begins….

Are you in the right frame of mind to cope with the future, particularly as it becomes evident that an economic recovery is beginning.

Here’s a few questions you can challenge yourself with:

1. Are your prepared for hyper-innovation and rapid time to market?
2. Do you actually know what major trends will affect your industry, profession and career in the next five years?
3. Are you frustrated by the lack of decisiveness that surrounds you, and need to focus your team on the future with passion and purpose?
4. Have you really come to accept that “volatility is the new normal,” and have you structured yourself to deal with this reality?
5. Do you really understand how your quickly customers are changing as they take more control of your brand image through the online social networks in which they participate?
6. Do you really know what will be expected in your job 10 years from now?
7. Could you define the biggest threat to your company five years out?
8. Have you thought about where you need to establish new partnerships in order that you can work smarter, better and faster?
9. Are you ready for a smarter-type-of-thing?
10. Are you someone who makes things happen — or do you sit back and wonder, “what happened?”

A good starting list to challenge yourself as the economy begins to move forward!
