Forget the "hustle fallacy". If your primary success strategy as a business leader is “hustling” and working as hard as you can, you'll eventually pay for it through flat-lining performance and burnout. If your role demands creativity, focus, energy, problem solving and decision-making, then overworking will hamper your performance. According to the latest neuroscience, overwork makes your brain "dull" in the sense of being the opposite of "sharp." Overwork, in other words, kills your creativity. When you learn how to balance work and renewal, you can sustain a higher level of productivity and creativity. The greater the performance demand, the greater the need for renewal. When energy is properly managed, business leaders can achieve more in less time. Learn how to better manage your energy across four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. We look at the research to understand the key factors that drive each of those four sources of energy so you can build in the personal rituals that over time, reduce stress and anxiety and enhance emotional wellbeing and happiness.
