There are so many good nuggets. One major takeaway is understanding other people\u2019s perceptions of you and developing the willingness to change.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a good starting point as we focus on CEOs and their journeys toward improvement. Kicking off the new year, I did a quick survey among top business leaders and asked them:<\/p>\n<h3>1) What\u2019s your professional New Year\u2019s resolution?<\/h3>\n<h3>2) What\u2019s your personal New Year\u2019s resolution?<\/h3>\n<p>Their answers are thoughtful, colorful and candid.

It&#8217;s a critical time in its evolution. Right now, we see power being consolidated in the hands of a few companies and governments taking actions at odds with the health of an open Internet. I want to look back at 2018 and point to moments where we disrupted the moves to lock it down as a closed and controlled platform. With open technology and principles, the same ones that allowed the internet and web to flourish to this point, and with more and more people waking up and demanding more, we can shift the balance of power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal resolution <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m resolving to continue to strive for and stay focused on the best work-life balance I can achieve. Life is a marathon, not a sprint! I have a 14-year old daughter and a 4-year old son. Like all fathers, it\u2019s important that I am healthy so I\u2019m there to guide them at home just as I guide the teams at Mozilla. Finding that balance also means nurturing the support network I have that helps me navigate the challenges we will all face in our increasingly complex lives, both professionally and personally.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Kenneth \u201cHap\u201d Klopp Founder &amp; Former CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenorthface.co.uk\/homepage.html\">The North Face<\/a>, Hult Professor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/hap-klopp-b3b976\/\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v12-591x345.jpg\" alt=\"Hap Klopp North Face\" width=\"591\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v12-591x345.jpg 591w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v12-500x292.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v12-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v12-1024x598.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Vastly increase my knowledge about Blockchain and crypto-currencies<\/li>\n<li>Complete major financings for a few of the enterprises I\u2019m advising<\/li>\n<li>Speak around the globe on the opportunities created by Digitization, Democratization, and Globalization\u2014the 3 major disruptors in business today<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Personal resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Commence my third book (previous ones were \u201cConquering The North Face\u201d and \u201cAlmost\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>Convert some of the toxic negativism in the world into constructive, positive actions<\/li>\n<li>Laugh and enjoy friends and family<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Betty Liu CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/radiateinc.com\">Radiate<\/a> Inc, Bloomberg TV Anchor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bettywliu\/\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v13-591x345.jpg\" alt=\"Betty Liu Radiate\" width=\"591\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v13-591x345.jpg 591w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v13-500x292.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v13-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hult_Blog-CEO-v13-1024x598.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/radiateinc.com\">Radiate <\/a>is a media education start-up that produces bite-sized videos on leadership and career advice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Continue to grow a great team at Radiate!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal resolution <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check a few more things off my bucket list like taking the kids to see the Northern Lights in Alaska.
