Getting as much done as possible at earlier stages in your career is useful in getting noticed and promoted. But at the leadership and executive level, you get promoted based on how you think, problem-solve, and inspire. The most essential ingredient for all of that? Space.
Truly productive leaders understand which ones don’t need to be done at all. And which ones should be done by someone else.
And they have the courage to follow through on that.
Productivity that churns out work but compromises other aspects of your life is not the Productivity we teach. It’s not practical, and more importantly, it’s not sustainable.
Say more. Get more. Be more.
Across your career, you will find yourself with bosses who are your greatest supporters, and others who represent your biggest obstacles. Even in the worst of circumstances, there is always something you can do to set yourself up for success.
