Wednesday Reset ⏳ Evaluate how successful your efforts have been in 2024 and find out what needs to change for next year. Who is someone you trust that could give an honest portrayal of what they saw from you this year? Is there a boss, mentor/coach, or colleague who could speak to your success and opportunities for growth? If not, who would you trust to keep you accountable in 2025?

Leaders, we can only control our actions, attitude, beliefs, and effort. If you have exhausted these four areas and are still frustrated about a situation, challenge yourself to let go. You can't always step away from these situations, but you can give them less room in your mind. What situation do you need to let go of? When you find yourself getting stuck in a negative thought pattern around things you can't control, how will you break the cycle?

We have all been there. Your heart begins to race from anger, you can’t focus on anything else, and all you can do is rehearse what you wish you could say to make your frustration go away. But what you really want to say…. probably shouldn’t be said. Deciding a plan of action is hard when your emotions are involved. Ask yourself these questions to navigate whether confrontation is the best avenue or letting go is the healthiest. - Am I seeking to understand or seeking to be understood? - If I don’t address this issue now, will I need to in 6 months? Will the problem persist? - Am I confronting this person to point us both towards the same goal or to push my own agenda? - What is the goal of this conversation? - How may the company be affected if I don’t intervene? - Is this frustration rooted in a miscommunication? If you are wanting to speak up to unify your team, better the company, understand differing opinions and up-root any miscommunications, then you should engage in some healthy conflict. But if what you’re frustrated about is short lived and rooted in pride, it may be best to let it go. Remember to utilize The Xtra Mile Conversation Roadmap for these difficult conversations to help you navigate through emotion. In order to have healthy conflict, everyone must have a voice. Be a listener and be curious about their point of view!

If we all brought our gratitude to work, there would be more collaboration, more seeking to understand, longer partnerships, and an increase of ownership. If we all practiced gratitude towards our coworkers, we wouldn’t fall victim to ‘island mentality’ in our roles, “my” agenda would quickly turn into the “team’s” agenda, and healthy conflict is welcomed because trust is at the center of every relationship. What will you bring to work today?
