Last year, I started a new habit. I picked three “big rocks” that I was going to work on throughout the year, and that I was going to share with my team, when appropriate. They were:

1. More effective management of associates
2. Time management & discipline
3. Problem solving framework

For 2005, I’m thinking of the following big rocks. These aren’t confirmed yet, but I’m pretty close to locking them in.

1. Sustaining applied talent
2. Cross discipline innovation
3. Challenge the assumptions in everything

I’ll explain more about how the whole ‘3 rocks’ discipline has been working out, and what it means to adhere to it. Fun stuff for sure!
