10 Warning Signs You’re Off Track
I’ve been focusing this year on slowing down — focusing on the important stuff, purging the unnecessary, leaving time to breathe and live.
That’s why I love this post from Dan Rockwell — a.k.a. The Leadership Freak. The opening line: “You go off track when you’re busy. Hectic schedules hide drift.”
We live in an age when “busy” is a badge of honor. Dan makes it clear: Busy is a trap. “Crazy busy is leadership without priorities.”
And he shares four ways to avoid the trap.
