Reflection: Leadership “White Space”

Research has shown that the highest performers, particularly those in leadership, do not live their lives “on all the time.” Rather, they have patterns of playing full out followed by periods of full out disengagement. In every field, the best of the best leaders function this way. In this podcast Dr. McKinley interviews Dr. Dan Meyer, a proven leader of leaders, about his practice of reflection in his career and the benefits it has provided. His message is simple: give your brain (and your heart, mind, and soul) the rest that it sorely calls for despite your likely tendency to ignore the warning signals.
