A question for devotees of the Baldrige Excellence Framework: Do people who passionately promote continuous improvement within organizations also tend to make New Year’s resolutions to improve their own well-being?

Seriously, I’m wondering if those who fully appreciate the framework’s value in helping organizations improve their performance in all key areas are also likely to apply the Baldrige framework in their personal lives. If so, do Baldrige adherents organize their self-improvement resolutions by the seven Criteria categories, the 17 category items, or the 11 overarching core values and concepts: systems perspective, visionary leadership, customer-focused excellence, valuing people, organizational learning and agility, focus on success, managing for innovation, management by fact, societal responsibility, ethics and transparency, and delivering value and results?

Regardless, I was certain seasoned Criteria users and guides could suggest Baldrige-based resolutions for organizations to adopt to achieve better results in 2016.
