One of my favourite questions to ask leaders is “where do you get your best ideas?”
Answers I often hear are…
- in the shower
- gardening
- running
- baking
- playing with Lego
- painting
- in my workshop
- playing my (insert musical instrument)
While there’s a variety of answers given, there is one common theme about the location: it’s NOT at work!!!
Great leaders understand the importance and power of getting away from it all by creating the time and space to think.
Space to think increases our mental energy giving us clarity, insight and wisdom to act.
