The best leaders I know are superb at managing energy (their own and that of the organization).
Here are some of the daily disciplines they leverage:
- Relentless focus on the Vision and clarity of direction
- Continual thinking, dialogue, and action toward improvement
- Mitigation of confusion and chaos
- Attention to relationships (internal and external)
- Team centered data analysis, reflection, and adaptation
- Constant communication, transparency, and full disclosure
These impactful leaders approach the work holistically, rather than in reductionist fashion.
Yes, it’s a LOT.
But….. We really don’t have enough energy or time to waste otherwise.
