A question from The 42 Test that touches this topic.
Leader Wrapped
Why look back before you plan ahead?
Because most plans for next year are written without looking at this one. A few minutes on what actually defined the year, where the time really went and what the team learned makes next year’s plan more honest, and shorter.
Use Leader Wrapped: five quick questions, about two minutes.
What does it ask?
Five single-choice questions:
- The moment that defined your year, from a hard conversation to someone leaving.
- What your team got better at.
- Where most of your time went.
- What you’ll do differently next year.
- One word for the year.
What do I get at the end?
A year card: your year in one word, your defining moment, what your team got better at and where your time went, plus one concrete change for next year, such as booking a one-to-one with everyone in January. The share text includes only your word and your defining moment.
Leader Wrapped is built for your team to answer each December, anonymously. The team version runs each December; for now you look back on your year yourself.
How is it worked out?
Each answer adds one line to the card from a written set, in the same order every time. There’s no score and no free text, so the card and the share text only ever contain what you chose.
The questions and lines are a draft written with AI and are waiting for a coach’s review.
What should I read or take next?
Read how to reflect on the past year as a leader. For a longer look at what you want to be remembered for, take The Legacy Question, and to check whether next year’s calendar matches, use Calendar Audit. Every tool for these moments is on the Moments that matter page.
