Sometimes described as “weapons of mass interruption” or “the place where productivity goes to die”, Meetings are the most misused tool in our leadership box. This week’s edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP revisits my first book - Stealing Back® TIME – in particular Enemy No. 7: Meetings - and considers what it really takes to stop them from becoming one of the most persistent and costly drains on our time, energy, and attention.

What if one of the most important leadership skills today is one we talk about the least? What if it’s not about being highly engaged, highly collaborative, or being available and responsive all the time? What if it’s about being: Relentless. This week’s edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP explores this further and considers how being relentless in the way you prioritize, drive alignment and protect your time can help leaders: Achieve More by Doing Less.

Some of the most important leadership decisions feel less like victories… and more like loss.  Yesterday reminded me just how true that is. This week’s edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP explores this further and considers how leaders must find clarity and courage when the right decision is also the hardest one.
