Together we build long term plans to move the people and the organization to that vision via change plans, strategic roadmaps, organization and individual development.  But given the conversations I have had recently with leaders, and the crazy business environment we have been in for 2011, it strikes me that it is a good time to **focus on tomorrow - literally**.  We are a week into 4th quarter as I write this.  What is it that you have committed to getting done by the end of the year?  Where are you with that?   [Read More](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/Blog/bid/76135/Don-t-Let-Tomorrow-Get-Away-From-You) Topics: [change](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/change), [Leadership](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/leadership), [Vision](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/vision), [business leader](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/business-leader), [transformation](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/transformation), [Productivity](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/productivity), [performance improvement](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/performance-improvement), [employee engagement](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/topic/employee-engagement) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## [Are YOU a Learning Organization?](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/blog/bid/47499/are-you-a-learning-organization) Posted by [Maureen Ennis](https://www.thrivedigitalera.com/blog/author/maureen-ennis) Jul 14, 2010 4:03:00 PM One of my favorite things to do when waiting for a customer in their office is browse their book shelves.  It gives me a great sense for the models and theories that they already have in their head, which gives us a good foundation for shared understanding. It's also a great opportunity for my own learning!

Take the time over the next few weeks to slow down, and give yourself the time and space to consider what you and your team successfully completed this year, where you are satisfied with your progress against goals, and what areas need focus in the upcoming year. And then, as the New Year rolls around... ACT!
