Rest & Relaxation...a Rebuttal

from The Lead Relationally Podcast · host Chris and Brad

It sounds so great! So why isn't it working?Have you ever come home from a holiday feeling like you need another one?There's a reason for that, and it's not because you didn't get enough sleep.While we can take a break from the tasks and even the challenges of work, what we cannot do is leave behind who we are as leaders.We don't become different people on a weekend away. Everything we believe about ourselves and those we lead gets packed up and brought with us. So what do we actually need from our time away? And how do we come back ready to be the best leaders we can be?Well, we weren’t entirely sure, so we put on our shoes, hit the path, and ended up questioning one of leadership culture's most overused words: balance. What we dig into:Why the standard R&R philosophy often doesn't deliver what it promises, and the questions we should be asking insteadThe uncomfortable difference between resting and running away (and only you know which one you're doing ;)Why the healthiest way to reset and refocus isn't more time alone, and the relational solution to thisCome with us for a walk and a conversation about a sustainable leadership lifestyle built on rhythms, honest self-reflection, and ensuring the right people are alongside you.
