Do 3 Things
When your organization has no discernible strategy, what can you do? Make up your own!
Don’t let a lack of strategic direction or guidance from your leadership stop you. If you have been on staff for much time you have a good idea of where the organization is going in the short term, even if your leadership is not capable of expressing it. Identify a few goals for your organization, unit or self based on what you know about the association. This shouldn’t be hard to do. Next, identify 3 things you can do this week to move along towards achieving those goals. Then do them. Pretty simple, huh?
If you continue to do three things each week for those goals, you will be surprised how much progress you will make without relying on leadership from above (by the way, you are leading when you do this, whether you realize it or not!). Taking some focused action in the short term is almost always better than freezing like a deer in the headlights. Get out there and do three things!
