I Wrote These 31 Aspirational Leadership Goals

…for myself more than 10 years ago. These are goals which I seek to live out every day (when I don’t lose sight of them), whether that is in leading my family at home, colleagues at work, or most importantly, myself in every place and circumstance (yes, all leadership starts with self leadership).

1. I aspire to gain the insight to grow in skill, confidence, and vision, and to articulate the language of that insight so that I can share it with others, on their terms and in their timing.

2. I aspire to be hopeful, and know how to stoke the fire of hope in my own life.

3. I aspire to experience, learn, and live out the secret of the law of reciprocity– “what you give away always comes back to you with greater value.”

4. I aspire to help my family and friends know how to support the people in their life that they care most about, even as I learn these lessons every day.

5. I aspire to keep a journal, and/or have other habits which help me lead a reflective life.
