“ASPIRATIONS”
An aspiration can be described as an ideal future - a brief description of the desired outcome.
For example, my aspiration for my children is for them to enjoy a healthy and happy life. I’m not telling them - or nudging them - how to do it; I’m not offering advice or strategies for them to use. It’s simply what I desire for their life!
I’m excited we - as an organization - have crafted a dynamic strategic plan.
Look at the aspirations from the plan listed below. Imagine an organization that achieves all of them! How awesome would that be?! Which ones, “Speak to you?” Which ONE do you read and immediately think, “When we achieve THIS, I will know we’re successful?”
That’s it. Just select an aspiration and ponder. What would success in that one aspiration mean? How would we be different than we are today?
Now, here’s the $64,000 nudge… Imagine that YOU are responsible for helping RTKC achieving the aspiration you just selected! How will YOU contribute to the success of the aspiration?
