Tony Schwarts, CEO of the Energy Project, says a lot in this short piece “Six Ways to Supercharge Your Productivity”. His key point is that as a result of the digital demands of the world we now inhabit, we are in danger of undertaking more and more tasks and creating less and less real value.
I came across today's reading, "Leaders Develop Daily, Not in a Day", last week in John Maxwell's GIANT Impact newsletter. Maxwell is an internationally know writer -- over 19 million books sold -- and speaker on leadership.
His's thesis in this piece is very straightforward: "Unless we set aside time to grow into the person we desire to be, we will not reach our potential." Leaders need to commit themselves to the process of growth, if indeed they want to develop as leaders.
