How to Look at Milestones - Thoughts from Kevin

If you’ve ever been driving in the United States on an interstate, every so often, you’ll see a sign that has a number on it, a mile marker. You’re probably familiar with those. They didn’t originate in the U.S. and in modern times, but rather during Roman times. Marking progress on the journey with milestones makes sense, right? Well, today we use milestones much more often in things like project management to help us plan out our projects and see how we’re doing against plan. That’s how we typically think about milestones, but I think that there are really five ways that we can look at milestones and five ways that milestones can help us. Milestones are a planning tool. Milestones are goals. Milestones drive momentum. Milestones create perspective. Milestones are a chance to celebrate. In this episode, we’ll dive deeper into these five ways that milestones can help you be a better leader and a better human. Tweet it out: Milestones are more than a planning tool. Use the crossing of milestones as a way to create perspective, drive momentum and provide a chance to celebrate. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about Kevin’s Daily Email and subscribe here.
