Routine: The Key to Success

As we are entering back to school season, I am thinking about the power of routine. A routine or habit is the small things we do every day that lead to results and the secret to successful outcomes. For some, that is a specific morning routine to set your day up for success. In my product days, we used the agile framework to provide a time-boxed routine approach to enable the team to measure progress and deliver iteratively. As leaders, a routine or habit could be a meeting used with their team to track progress and mitigate issues strategically tied to a goal. 

No matter what you are doing in life, the right routine is vital to success. We must intentionally set routines that align with our goals and continuously monitor the progress to ensure success. Many organizations are great at setting goals, but the implementation and execution of the routine or habits needed to achieve the goal are not consistent or monitored. Hence, the goal is not met. What routine or habits do you or your company need to implement to meet your goals this year? If you need help putting a routine or plan together to achieve your goals, I can help. After all, “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”—John C. Maxwell.
