Manage episode 485263997 series 1463166
This episode focuses on the importance of protecting your energy as an essential part of leadership, especially for introverts. It highlights how taking on leadership roles often brings increased visibility, more meetings, and greater decision-making demands, which can be particularly draining for those who thrive in quieter, more focused environments.
To manage this, the episode suggests creating personal systems to safeguard your capacity, such as blocking out time for deep work, leaving space between meetings, and practicing saying no to avoid overcommitment. The importance of honoring your energy as much as any other work commitment is emphasized.
Listeners are encouraged to identify what tasks, people, or situations drain their energy and why, as well as what restores it. Reflecting on physical sensations of stress and the impact on productivity helps in understanding when to step back and create breathing room. The episode wraps up by reminding listeners that effective leadership comes from taking care of one’s own energy first.
