Getting the Most Out of the Holidays

December 13, 2005

Your mailings are out, your events are almost all in the past, and you're looking forward to the holiday break. In the meantime, what are you working on?

A lot of our customers are working on their 2006 budgets. Some are using the time as an opportunity to clean up after another long year. And some are taking stock, thinking through what they can do next year.

I'm planning a lot. I find the best way to get things done is to set the general plan, set specific goals and dates, and then get buy-in from my co-workers. From there we finalize the plans and get to work on them. Plan, engage, execute. I'm pretty sure I borrowed that from Andy Grove of Intel, but it's a good one.

So what are you doing as the year closes? Post your comments below.
