Beingaleader means you need to think. About change. About personnel. About movement in the future. Think. All the time. There’s plenty of time for doing. And that’s what most people spend their time on. But don’t forget to think. It will make the doing more successful.
Beingaleader usually means that you have a position that requires you to think. Think about impact. Think about what is the best decision to make. Think about consequences. But do you ever take the time to think? Do you fit it in somehow or whenever or do you schedule it? You should put it on your calendar. When do you do your best thinking? First thing? End of day? Whenever it is the best and freshest and most energetic time for you, do your thinking then.
Why do we focus on doing? Doing shows results. Doing is often what we were initially paid for. But now, as a leader, you are also paid to think. To strategize. To make things better. To innovate. Thinking is hard work. It takes energy. It takes the best of your time. But it is so worth it! Practice it. Protect that time. Spend it wisely. But think.
Beingaleader means you need to think. Spend some time thinking today.
