One shift many leaders notice as responsibility grows is
how quickly their calendar fills.
What’s less obvious is how easy it becomes to
stop questioning it.
Here’s a simple exercise I’ve used with leaders
navigating that transition.
Look at your calendar for the next two weeks.
Don’t change anything.
Just notice how each commitment makes you feel.
Dread.
Energy.
Curiosity.
You don’t have to fix anything yet.
Just mark it.
That awareness can reveal a lot about where you may,
or may not, be meant to spend your time at this level.
This clip walks through how I think about that.
