Strategy 20: Take a break

Take a break—already the 20th strategy (only 30 to go, stay tuned! ????). Most of us in business are focused on efficiency. But I’d like to draw your attention to the negative effects of efficiency—and why it’s important to take a break now and then. Especially if your calendar is efficiently planned, this video will make you look at your tight schedule in a new light. Curious? Then watch it right away, whether it fits your schedule or not.

I read a chapter aloud every week. I hope you enjoy listening to my book. I truly hope that I’ll inspire you to add some excitement to your journey as a business leader, a CX leader, or perhaps even as a leader in your personal life.
