School starts this week here in Los Angeles. Varied summer activities yield to resuming Fall routines.

Whether or not we have school-age kids of our own, this massive shift in schedule is going on all around us.

The opportunity lies in riding the wider shift in attitude to give a boost to our own plans. Is there a project you’ve been meaning to begin? Use the team’s return from summer vacations as a launching point.

Has work effort been flagging? Then use the Fall to regroup and refocus. Has communication been rare? Use the season shift to gather everyone and discuss some important aspect of your work together. Is the office a mess? Schedule a “Back to School Work” day for everyone to get organized.

If you designed your own “Back to School Work” initiative, what would be its focus?
