Missing your margins?
During a recent virtual client session, the leader had the courage to be transparent.
In the name of efficiency, he'd been participating in back-to-back-to-back ZOOM meetings. All...day...long.
Gone are meetings separated by short and refreshing walks from one conference room to the next.
No more hour long car rides required to visit clients or their other corporate sites.
The space where he once digested important ideas, brainstormed potential solutions, and allowed new thoughts to present themselves had vanished…
And he was feeling it.
If you’re mourning the loss of margins, it's time to take back your calendar.
Block off buffer-zones where you can:
Get up from your desk after each meeting to stretch your legs and your mind.
Eat lunch without looking at a screen.
Walk outside, get some fresh air and savor the silence.
Give up some efficiency for the sake of effectiveness…and your sanity.
