Annual Planning is an opportunity to build team health, reset the vision, and create a clear plan for the next year. - Gino Wickman

When more than one person is accountable, nobody is.

When everything is important, nothing is important.

I highly recommend an exercise I call One Thing. Each member of the team receives feedback from the others on his or her single greatest strength or most admirable ability and his or her biggest weakness or hindrance to the success of the company. The exercise is done out in the open, with the entire leadership team present. I believe the peer-evaluation methods that are conducted anonymously actually do more harm than good.
