A slightly different angle to take concerning annual goal setting focuses on relationships. To get started, think about your role on the board and what you are expected to accomplish. Undoubtedly, your probabilities for success will increase with new and strengthened relationships. Here are some questions to consider. 1) Who on the board itself can you learn more from? 2) Which professional in the community has expertise that will benefit you in your board role? 3) What professional or other volunteer association type group can you access to promote the community value of your organization – do you know a person that you can get to know that could help you do this? 4) Which other person in the community that you know or know of that you believe has a perspective on board work that you can learn from to help you do a better job on the board? Think a little more deeply about what you might accomplish with these relationships, what types of things you will be able to do better with the knowledge, support and connections you might attain. Great, now you have set four goals for the new year. Think for a moment how to reach out and start conversations with these four people and you have an initial set of strategies to reach your goals. Give yourself some deadlines to get through this first part Congratulations, you have an action plan and are well on your way to a more successful 2012!
