Resolutions

Every January, my feed fills up with New Year’s Resolutions.
New year, new you. New habits. New mindset. New buzzwords.

So, in the spirit of the season, here are a few of my resolutions:
- I resolve to not pretend January 2nd is “business as usual” when half the org is still on PTO.
- I resolve to stop calling the same old initiative a “transformation” just because we added a slide with arrows.
- I resolve to finally finish a strategic plan before the market changes again (ambitious, I know).
- I resolve to ask “what problem are we actually solving?” before approving another spreadsheet or dashboard.
- I resolve to not be shocked when Q1 forecasts don’t survive their first encounter with reality.

And my personal favorite:
- I resolve to stop believing that this year will be less chaotic than the last one.

Because if supply chain has taught me anything, it’s that plans are temporary. Disruptions are forever.

Happy New Year to everyone confidently setting goals they’ll be forced to revisit by February.
