What are your Managing Resolutions for 2012?

The New Year is here, and we all know what that means: Resolutions.  While many believe that resolutions are silly and hard to keep, I think that a fresh set of goals to and accomplish is a great way to start the new year.  

Management Concpect's Mark Leheney recently posted his list of 11 Resolutions for Managers, leaders, and supervisors to try in the year 2012.  Check out the list below.  

1. I will take an extra minute to listen to people.
2. I will ask people for input on things that affect them.
3. I will become better at noticing what emotions I am experiencing – especially the negative ones – and instead of automatically, instinctively operating out of them, ask myself, “How do I want to show up? What would be best long-term?”
4. I will not read or type emails while employees are trying to talk with me.
5. I will ask employees the most motivating question: “What do you think?”
6. I will let my manager know what people are thinking and feeling, particularly during change, rather than sugar-coating or withholding.
7. I will make time to think strategically about what is happening at work, and carefully examine the need for reactive, tactical responses that seem to consume so much of every day.
8. I will work to understand things as employees understand them.
9. I will admit mistakes and share what I learned from those.
10. I will give feedback for only one reason – to help the employee do better next time.
11. I will examine my intentions in conversations, decisions and work.
