January brings a familiar flood of resolutions—hit the gym, eat better food, spend more time with family, etc. We make these promises to ourselves with real intent, and by February, most of us have abandoned them.

I’m not talking about vague goals like “increase revenue” or “improve culture.” Those aren’t resolutions, they’re wishes.
