As a company leader, think about how you spend your day. How much time do you spend on tasks that aren’t technically your responsibility? How long are you at your desk each day? How much time do you actually have to lead and engage your team?
Your time likely is not as effectively spent as you think. According to research published in the Harvard Business Review in October, most CEOs spend about 25 percent of their day alone. That’s time chained to a desk, doing mundane tasks like sending emails. That’s time away from your people.
