Wishes for 2011

As we come to close of 2010 it is a time to think ahead to 2011. My wishes for 2011 will focus on the business world that we live in and not on broader issues like world peace - someone else will cover that off I'm sure.

So here goes my five wishes for 2011.

1) Continuing workplace collaboration - I truly believe that workplace collaboration is getting better and better each year and the benefits to all facets of business are very positive.

2) More authenticity - the longer I work in this business the more I appreciate working with people who are true to who they are. No pretenses and the focus is on the work and not all the other stuff that often gets in the way.

3) LAMSTAIH - this is "Look at more stuff. Think about it harder." The harder you work on something usually the better the outcome. So let's all take time to make sure that we are giving each project it's due.

4) Take more chances - keep pushing for new and different approaches. While it is easy to do it the same way - new successes happen only when people approach things differently.

5) Have more fun - everyone works hard and it is important to inject some fun into the day-to-day job. Hey if you don't like what you do - then it's time to turn the page and do something different.

So those are my five wishes for 2011 - what do you think? What are your wishes for 2011?
