The Reflective Leader: Keys To Improve Your Performance In 2022

Forbes

According to a Yoruba proverb, “When a child falls, he looks forward, but when an adult falls, he looks behind.” The moral of the proverb is that a child does not pause and reflect on what made him fall, so it happens again. Adults look behind to see what made them stumble and make adjustments to prevent a recurrence. Simply, experience is not what makes us grow; it is evaluated experience—to pause, reflect, and act.

It is that time when people begin to make New Year resolutions. Unfortunately, most of these resolutions fall short because they focus on actions and end goals rather than the experiences and underlying beliefs needed to achieve the results. Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, shared some tools that leaders can leverage in 2022 to improve their leadership performance. “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience which is bitterest.” Confucius ranks self-reflection, not experience, as the best way to learn and grow. Unfortunately, due to the fast-changing technology-driven world, most leaders have lost the art of self-reflection as a tool to improve their performance. 

In the wise words of  Margaret J. Wheatley, an American writer, teacher, and speaker, “Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” As 2021 winds down and 2022 comes in view, the world’s challenges—the pandemic, chip shortages, and supply chain constraints are getting more complex. Also, the great resignation, hot housing market, war on talent, and the future of work are forces leaders must contend with.  Now is the time for leaders to pause and reflect on the previous year and transform their learnings into valuable insights that can accelerate their growth and development. Below are four tips to help you become a more reflective leader and improve your performance in the New Year:

#1 Begin with the end in mind: Bronnie Ware, the international bestselling author of "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying," shared that the top regret people had on their death bed was, "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." With this in mind, what is your end goal? What have you always wanted to do but haven't done yet?  What is getting in the way? What are you going to do about it in 2022?

#2 Schedule self-reflection time on your calendar: The secret of your success lies in your daily routine. Being intentional about scheduling time for daily self-reflection will create new insights that drive new behaviors and results.

Dan Cathy, the Chairman of Chick-fil-A, tweeted, “We live in a fast-paced world. More and more, I’m learning that to remain effective as a leader, I need to schedule times of rest and reflection.” He shared more details in an interview with John Maxwell. Cathy sets aside half a day every two weeks and two to three days a year for self-reflection. If half a day doesn’t work for you, what about scheduling 15 minutes a day for a start?

#3 Follow the 80/20 rule: You will never have enough time to attend every meeting, put out fires, and get all the work done. Adopting the 80/20 rule could help you determine where to invest your energy. The rule suggests that 20 percent of your activities will account for 80 percent of your results. Effective leaders prioritize the top 20% to ensure the longevity of their businesses and delegate the rest.

#4 Measure what matters: What you measure shifts your mindset, drives behaviors, and determines the results you see in your life. John Doerr, the New York Times Bestseller author, “Measure What Matters,” wrote how Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation exceeded expectations through a simple goal-setting technique called OKRs—objectives and key results.

Closing: Apples fall from the tree all the time, but Isaac Newton pondered why apples fall straight to the ground (rather than sideways or upward). His insights inspired him to develop the law of universal gravitation and his three laws of motion. When leaders are not self-reflective, their vision becomes blurry, and organizations become bloated. They seek compromise instead of prioritizing, become lethargic in executing, remain stuck in old thinking, and become grounded by indecision.

During these times of unprecedented change, don’t let busyness become an excuse not to pause and reflect on the year that has passed and prepare for the new year ahead—your success depends on it.

This week, find some time to reflect on the following questions: (1) Where am I headed? (2) Do I have a scheduled daily self-reflection practice? (3) What is most important?  And, what am I willing to give up to become the person I want to be? What should I do to be the person I want to be?

The Reflective Leader: Keys To Improve Your Performance In 2022

Forbes

According to a Yoruba proverb, “When a child falls, he looks forward, but when an adult falls, he looks behind.” The moral of the proverb is that a child does not pause and reflect on what made him fall, so it happens again. Adults look behind to see what made them stumble and make adjustments to prevent a recurrence. Simply, experience is not what makes us grow; it is evaluated experience—to pause, reflect, and act.

约鲁巴有一句谚语“当孩子摔倒时，他会向前看，但当成年人摔倒时，他会向后看。”这句谚语的寓意是，孩子不会暂停并反思是什么让他摔倒，所以会再次发生。成年人会向后看，看看是什么让他们跌倒，并作出调整，防止再次发生。简单地说，让我们成长的不是经验；而是经过评估后停下来、反思和行动的经验。

表示“谚语，格言”，英文解释为“a short sentence, etc., usually known by many people, stating something commonly experienced or giving advice”举个🌰：

The appetite, says the proverb, grows with eating.

俗话说，吃得越多，胃口越大。

作名词，表示“道德教训；寓意”，英文解释为“The moral of a story, event, or experience is the message that you understand from it about how you should or should not behave”举个🌰：

And the moral of the story is that honesty is always the best policy.

这个故事的寓意是：诚实总是上策。

1）作名词，表示“犯错；失足”，英文解释为“a false step, trip, or blunder / the act of stumbling”。

2）作动词，表示“踉跄；绊脚”，英文解释为“If you stumble, you put your foot down awkwardly while you are walking or running and nearly fall over.”举个🌰：

He stumbled and almost fell. 他绊了一下，差点儿摔倒。

3）固定搭配：stumble on / across / upon sth，表示“偶然发现（碰见）”，英文解释为“to find or discover something by chance and unexpectedly”，举个🌰：

Researchers have stumbled across a drug that may help patients with Parkinson's disease.

研究人员偶然发现了一种药物，也许可以治疗帕金森病。

It is that time when people begin to make New Year resolutions. Unfortunately, most of these resolutions fall short because they focus on actions and end goals rather than the experiences and underlying beliefs needed to achieve the results. Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, shared some tools that leaders can leverage in 2022 to improve their leadership performance. “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience which is bitterest.” Confucius ranks self-reflection, not experience, as the best way to learn and grow. Unfortunately, due to the fast-changing technology-driven world, most leaders have lost the art of self-reflection as a tool to improve their performance.

现在正是人们开始制定新年愿望的时候。不幸的是，这些愿望大多数都是失败的，因为他们关注的是行动和最终目标，而不是为实现目标所需的经验和深层的信念。中国哲学家孔子分享了一些领导者们2022年仍然可以利用的方法，以提高他们的领导绩效。“我们可以通过三种方法来学习智慧。第一，通过反思，这是最崇高的；第二，通过模仿，这是最容易的；第三，通过经验，这是最痛苦的。”孔子将自我反思，而不是经验，列为学习和成长的最佳方式。不幸的是，在这个快速变化的技术驱动的世界，大多数领导者已经失去了自我反思的能力，无法将其作为提高业绩的工具。

1）表示“决议”，英文解释为“A resolution is a formal decision made at a meeting by means of a vote.”举个🌰：

He replied that the UN had passed two major resolutions. 

他回复说联合国已经通过两项重大决议。

2）表示“决心，决定”，英文解释为“If you make a resolution, you decide to try very hard to do something.”举个🌰：

They made a resolution to lose all the weight gained during the Christmas holidays.

他们下了一个决心要减掉圣诞节期间增加的全部体重。

1）表示“暗含的；深层的；潜在的”，英文解释为“real but not immediately obvious”举个🌰：

And what might be the underlying significance of these supposedly random acts?

这些看似偶然的行为，其暗含的意义可能是什么呢？

2）表示“以…为基础的”，英文解释为“used to describe something on which something else is based”举个🌰：

The price of the investment fell below the value of the underlying assets.

这一投资项目的价格已经跌至低于标的资产价值。

熟词僻义，表示“技术，技巧；本领”，英文解释为“a skill or special ability”如：the art of conversation 会话技巧，举个🌰：

Getting him to go out is quite an art (= needs special skill).

想让他出门交际可得好好动动脑筋。

In the wise words of  Margaret J. Wheatley, an American writer, teacher, and speaker, “Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” As 2021 winds down and 2022 comes in view, the world’s challenges—the pandemic, chip shortages, and supply chain constraints are getting more complex. Also, the great resignation, hot housing market, war on talent, and the future of work are forces leaders must contend with.  Now is the time for leaders to pause and reflect on the previous year and transform their learnings into valuable insights that can accelerate their growth and development. Below are four tips to help you become a more reflective leader and improve your performance in the New Year:

用美国作家、教师和演讲家玛格丽特·J·惠特利（Margaret J. Wheatley）的至理名言来说，“没有反思，我们就会盲目上路，造成更多意想不到的后果，而无法获得任何有用的成果。”有意进行自我反思是领导者弥合“过去的和 "可能的 "之间差距的工具。随着2021年的结束和2022年的到来，世界上的挑战--新冠疫情、芯片短缺和供应链的限制变得更加复杂。此外，众多离职、火热的住房市场、人才竞争和未来的工作都是领导者们不得不面对的。现在是领导者们停下来并反思过去一年的时间，并将他们的学习成果转化为有价值的见解，从而加速他们的成长和发展。以下是四个技巧，帮助你成为一个更善于反思的领导者，在新的一年里提高你的业绩。

表示“无意的，无心的；没有计划的”，英文解释为“not intended”举个🌰：

The group argues that the proposed methods will have unintended consequences.

该团体认为所提方法将会带来意想不到的后果。

表示“必须处理，必须应对（困境或不愉快的事）”，英文解释为“to have to deal with a difficult or unpleasant situation”举个🌰：

At the age of nine, he had the death of both parents to contend with.

9岁时他就不得不面对父母双亡这一境况。

#1 Begin with the end in mind: Bronnie Ware, the international bestselling author of "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying," shared that the top regret people had on their death bed was, "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." With this in mind, what is your end goal? What have you always wanted to do but haven't done yet?  What is getting in the way? What are you going to do about it in 2022?

#1 以终为始。国际畅销书《临终者的五大遗憾》（The Top Five Regrets of the Dying）的作者布罗妮·瓦尔（Bronnie Ware）分享说，人们在临终前的最大遗憾是：“我希望我有勇气过真正属于自己的生活，而不是别人期望的生活。”考虑到这一点，你的最终目标是什么？你一直想做但还没有做的是什么？是什么阻碍了你？2022年，你打算怎么做？

#2 Schedule self-reflection time on your calendar: The secret of your success lies in your daily routine. Being intentional about scheduling time for daily self-reflection will create new insights that drive new behaviors and results.

#2 在你的日程表上安排自我反省的时间。你成功的秘诀在于你日常生活中。有意安排时间进行日常自我反思，将创造出新的见解，推动新的行为和结果。

Dan Cathy, the Chairman of Chick-fil-A, tweeted, “We live in a fast-paced world. More and more, I’m learning that to remain effective as a leader, I need to schedule times of rest and reflection.” He shared more details in an interview with John Maxwell. Cathy sets aside half a day every two weeks and two to three days a year for self-reflection. If half a day doesn't work for you, what about scheduling 15 minutes a day for a start?

Chick-fil-A主席丹·凯西（Dan Cathy）在推特上说：“我们生活在一个快节奏的世界。我越来越明白，作为一名领导者，要保持高效，我需要安排休息和反思的时间。”他在接受约翰·麦克斯韦（John Maxwell）的采访时分享了更多细节。凯西每两周留出半天时间，每年留出两到三天时间进行自我反思。如果半天时间做不到，那么每天安排15分钟的时间作为一个开始如何？

表示“为…安排时间；安排，排定”，英文解释为“to arrange that an event or activity will happen at a particular time”举个🌰：

The flight is scheduled to arrive at 10:20, but it's running 15 minutes late.

航班预定于10:20到达，但要晚点15分钟。

1）表示“把…搁在一边；暂缓处理”，英文解释为“to ignore or not think about a particular fact or situation while considering a matter”举个🌰：

Setting aside the question of cost, what do you think of the idea in principle?

先把成本问题搁在一边，理论上讲你觉得这个意见怎样？

2）表示“拨出，留出（金钱或时间）”，英文解释为“to save something, usually money or time, for a special purpose”举个🌰：

他为孩子们存了一笔钱。

📍纽约时报（The New York Times）一篇讲述我们需要感恩，但不一定在感恩节的文章中提到：After all, if there’s a day on which the benefits of gratitude are maximized, surely it’s the national holiday set aside for the purpose of expressing that emotion. 毕竟，如果某一天感恩的好处被最大化，那这一天一定会是为了表达这种感情而专门设置的国家节日。

The Court of Appeal set aside his conviction.

上诉法院撤销了对他的判决。

📍还是纽约时报（The New York Times）一篇讲述孙杨禁赛八年裁决被撤销的文章中提到：The global antidoping body said in an emailed statement that it was aware of the Swiss federal court's decision to set aside Sun's ban. 全球反兴奋剂机构在一份电子邮件声明中表示，它已悉知瑞士联邦法院撤销孙杨禁赛令的决定。

#3 Follow the 80/20 rule: You will never have enough time to attend every meeting, put out fires, and get all the work done. Adopting the 80/20 rule could help you determine where to invest your energy. The rule suggests that 20 percent of your activities will account for 80 percent of your results. Effective leaders prioritize the top 20% to ensure the longevity of their businesses and delegate the rest.

#3 遵循80/20法则：你永远不会有足够的时间参加每一次会议，解决问题，完成所有的工作。采用80/20法则可以帮助你确定将精力投入到哪里。该法则表明，20%的活动将产生80%的结果。高效的领导者会优先考虑最重要的20%，以确保其业务的长效性，并将其余的事情下放。

1）表示“按重要性排列；划分优先顺序”，英文解释为“to put tasks, problems, etc. in order of importance, so that you can deal with the most important first”举个🌰：

You should make a list of all the jobs you have to do and prioritize them.

你应该把所有必须做的事都列出来，并按轻重缓急排个顺序。

你作为老板必须要分派工作。

📍政府工作报告中经常出现的简政放权就是：streamline administration and delegate power，

#4 Measure what matters: What you measure shifts your mindset, drives behaviors, and determines the results you see in your life. John Doerr, the New York Times Bestseller author, “Measure What Matters,” wrote how Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation exceeded expectations through a simple goal-setting technique called OKRs—objectives and key results.

#4 衡量重要的事情：你衡量的东西会改变你的思维方式，推动行为，并决定你在生活中看到的结果。《纽约时报》畅销书《衡量什么是重要的》作者约翰·多尔（John Doerr）在书中介绍了谷歌、Bono和盖茨基金会是如何通过一种叫做OKR的简单目标设定方法实现超预期（增长的）。

表示“思想倾向；思维方式；观念模式”，英文解释为“a person's way of thinking and their opinions”如：to have a different/the same mindset 有不同/相同的思维方式。

Closing: Apples fall from the tree all the time, but Isaac Newton pondered why apples fall straight to the ground (rather than sideways or upward). His insights inspired him to develop the law of universal gravitation and his three laws of motion. When leaders are not self-reflective, their vision becomes blurry, and organizations become bloated. They seek compromise instead of prioritizing, become lethargic in executing, remain stuck in old thinking, and become grounded by indecision.

最后：苹果总是从树上掉下来，但艾萨克·牛顿（Isaac Newton）却在思考为什么苹果会直接掉到地上（而不是侧向或向上）。他的洞察力启发了他提出万有引力定律及其牛顿三大定律。当领导者不进行自我反思时，他们就会被眼前的东西蒙蔽，组织就会变得臃肿。他们寻求妥协，而不是优先处理，在执行中变得懒散倦怠，仍然停留在旧思维中，并因优柔寡断而止步不前。

表示“沉思；考虑；琢磨”，英文解释为“to think about sth carefully for a period of time”举个🌰：

She pondered over his words.

她反复琢磨他的话。

blurry /ˈblɜːrɪ/ 1）表示“模糊不清的”，英文解释为“without a clear outline; not clear”，如：a blurry picture 模糊的照片。

2）表示“不清楚的，不确定的”，英文解释为“not clear and definite”举个🌰：

1）表示“使停飞；阻止…起飞”，英文解释为“to prevent an aircraft from taking off”举个🌰：

All planes out of Tehran have been grounded by the accident.

所有由德黑兰起飞的飞机均因此事故而停飞。

The fishing boat had been grounded on rocks off the coast of Tehran.

渔船在德黑兰海岸外礁石上搁浅了。

During these times of unprecedented change, don't let busyness become an excuse not to pause and reflect on the year that has passed and prepare for the new year ahead—your success depends on it.

在这个空前变化的时代，不要让忙碌成为借口而不去停下来和反思已经过去的一年，为未来的新一年做好准备--你的成功将取决于此。

表示“史无前例的，空前的；绝无仅有的”，英文解释为“never having happened or existed in the past”举个🌰：

This century has witnessed environmental destruction on an unprecedented scale.

🎬电影《星运里的错》（The Fault in Our Stars）中的台词提到：You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are. 你太忙于做自己 都没有意识到自己是那么的令人心动。

This week, find some time to reflect on the following questions: (1) Where am I headed? (2) Do I have a scheduled daily self-reflection practice? (3) What is most important?  And, what am I willing to give up to become the person I want to be? What should I do to be the person I want to be?
