The most effective leaders don't just work hard; they rest strategically. After two decades in leadership, I've witnessed brilliant executives burn out talented teams by modeling unsustainable behavior. The "always-on" approach isn't dedication; it's often fear masquerading as commitment. Time off isn't a luxury. It's a leadership responsibility.When you return from meaningful breaks, you bring:➡️ Sharper focus➡️ Greater patience➡️ More grounded energyThe most respected leaders build systems that run without them. They delegate, trust, and prepare their teams to lead in their absence.Remember: Companies pay for your time off because smart businesses understand that rest drives performance.Are you modeling sustainable leadership or glorifying burnout?🎧 Dive deeper into this topic on the latest Leadership Lab episode where I explore why taking time off makes you a better leader, not a weaker one.#LeadershipLab #SustainableLeadership #ExecutivePerformance #WorkLifeBalance
“Leadership is about progression”…that’s a great characterization. How many people clamor around saying “I’m swamped” or “I’m booked the rest of the week?”.
