Leader, are you taking enough time out to think?
A recent survey discovers that leaders do not get enough time to think.
They complain they have ‘little time to think’ and more than half struggle to find time to plan strategically…. the majority of managers claim they struggle to finish tasks, with seven out of 10 admitting they are not looking for new market opportunities or product gaps in the marketplace."
Taking time out to think is critical for effective leadership.
Free up your time, stay focused on what really matters
Every leader should routinely keep a substantial portion of his or her time—I would say as much as 50 percent—unscheduled.
Only when you have substantial ’slop’ in your schedule—unscheduled time—will you have the space to reflect on what you are doing, learn from experience, and recover from your inevitable mistakes.
