When I’m doing absolutely nothing.

I’ve been living with the consequences all my life

Reinvention is critical for today’s leaders.

I was offered a very big corporate role.

I took a month’s break from LinkedIn.

A simple sentence that helped close the deal.

So the first few times I said, “I don’t work at that time”, it felt uncomfortable.

Whether it’s your business or your health, avoidance rarely makes things better.

It felt like I was swimming against the tide.  

It’s one of the most useful tools in my approach to leadership.

I felt the urge to change the subject to her, and moved on fast.

Your body can tell you a lot about your relationships at work, your self-awareness and your communication with others.

I woke up feeling… annoyingly great.

From chasing relentlessly increasing targets to sustaining capacity.

Early brilliance and adult excellence are often negatively correlated.

In my humble opinion, no.

All the accoutrements of my long corporate career.

Today, 2,075 years ago, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon defying the Roman Senate and uttering "alea iacta est" (the die is cast).

And I love it so much that sometimes I forget to take a break.

But many of our leadership habits were built for a steadier age.
