Part 4
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after wind.
King Solomon
Wise leaders seek to work properly exerting power over their to-do list and focusing on what is actually important.
They realize that all may not be as essential and therefore may be postponed, delegated, or simply be elected away.
They slow down and concentrate on doing the most important thing. There feeling is that they have all the time they need through making wise priorities.
Wise leaders plan their time in the knowledge to have balance within life’s all-important areas.
There are very few people who say: “My only regret in life is that I didn’t spend more time at the office!”
Naturally, no one can keep the balance entirely all the time, but it is an approach we can strive for.
By creating the right balance in our needs and interest for work, family, relations, and recreation, we open our minds.
We have more energy and become more constructive and positive as leaders.
About “The Key Leadership Principles”
This weeks Key Leadership Principle is “Lead using your most precious asset”.
I will write one thought for every day during this week and then give you the opportunity to reflect on some important questions on how to Lead using your most precious asset the following week.
This is the format I will use to inspire your learning, releasing your talent and potential. My hope is that you will come along with your thoughts along the way.
I wish you the best in your life and leadership,
