Resolutions for our Institutions

This is the time of year where we begin making our New Year's Resolutions. As always, mine involve losing a little weight and getting in better shape. I don't need a major overhaul, mind you, just a little tuning up!

But while we often spend much of our energy on our personal resolutions, it may be time for us to also be thinking about our institutional resolutions for the year. Most places have goals, a mission statement, etc. So, just like our personal lives, the institutions where we work do not need a major overhaul -- just a little tune-up!

What are the organizational resolutions that you would set out for your institution? Will it involve being dependable servants of society? Will the organization work towards being a healing force in the world? Who will be among those to step up and make it happen? You? Your team?
