In the past day/week/month/year,
- How did I lead by example, and how will I continue doing so?
- What bold actions did I take, and which ones do I need to take next?
- What tough decisions did I make, and which ones do I need to make next?
- Whom did I help, how did I help them, and whom should I help next?
- What did I communicate, how did I do it, how was it received, and how do I plan to communicate next?
- Whose ideas did I seek, how did I use those ideas, and how will I seek more ideas?
- What did I learn, how will I apply it, and what do I want to learn next?
- To whom did I delegate, what did I ask them to do, and to whom should I delegate more?
- What commitments did I make, which ones did I meet, and which ones do I still need to meet?
- Whom did I praise, and whom should I thank next?
