Strategic Leadership: Making Time for What's Truly Important

So Renee, a lot of leaders I watch, you know, really struggle with how to focus on the truly important and get those things done versus getting caught in the minutia of the day. What have you seen some leaders do to be effective in solving for that problem? Okay, the first thing is to slow down. Whether it's meditation, taking some deep breaths, building in a little bit of margin to slow your pace. The second thing is to focus on where can I add the most value and do that first. So really focus on what's important versus just what's urgent and chaotic. What about you, Aviva? Yeah. So, um, a couple things. One, um, in the morning when you start the day, ask what are the most important things I can get done today? Limit it to two or three. And, um, like what does success feel like at the end of the day? If I got these things done, I'd feel truly good about the day. Um, second, I would also say, uh, make sure you have the right environment for the strategic. If you're sitting in your office and people are interrupting you constantly or you leave your email open and it's getting binged and you're getting notifications all the time, you can't be strategic. You're getting interrupted. So, you know, it may be one day a week, half a day, or a full day, you go somewhere offsite or you work from home, whatever it may be, and create an environment where you can get clearheaded and honestly get into the flow of the work you need to do to be strategic. Um, don't let interruptions and distractions get in your way. I love that. We want to hear what works for you guys. Thanks, [Music]
