It can be so easy to jump headfirst into a new year. You have new goals, new plans and new gym memberships. But is there a step before all of this new activity? Should we take a moment to pause and reflect on the previous year in order to become the leaders we want to be? In this episode of The EntreLeadership Podcast, we sit down with Patrick Lencioni, one of the founders of The Table Group and a pioneer of the organizational health movement. Patrick tells us why it is so important to reflect on the previous year and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the next one. Then in our second segment, George Kamel interviews Dr. John Delony on some tactical strategies for reflection this holiday season.   The EntreLeadership Podcast Patrick Lencioni's website The Motive by Patrick Lencioni The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni At The Table with Patrick Lencioni podcast Learn more about EntreLeadership Summit Atomic Habits by James Clear Questions for Humans Conversation Cards by Dr. John Delony I Don't Want to Talk About It by Terrence Real Poetry by Steve Connell Take the Leadership Growth Assessment Schedule a call with Tim, our producer   Learn more about EntreLeadership Events: EntreLeadership Summit | EntreLeadership Master Series   Learn more about EntreLeadership Coaching: Elite | Advisory Groups | Executive Coaching | Workshops | Weekly Report Tool   Learn more about the offers from our EntreLeadership Partners: BELAY | Gravy | Hite Digital | NetSuite
