Let’s talk frankly for a moment. As a C-suite executive or a senior leader, you’re constantly navigating complex challenges and driving results. Yet, many of you privately confess to battling an incessant inbox, needing entire weekends just to recover, and grappling with a persistent lack of energy that noticeably hampers your productivity. When I coach leaders like you, expressing these very frustrations, my first question is always direct: “When was the last time you took some time to analyze your energy patterns?”
Most of the time, there’s no immediate answer. I understand you’re fully focused on getting tasks done. But as a senior leader, you should know that the most important thing to focus on isn’t just the strategic planning of projects; it’s also the strategic planning of your energy. Think of your energy as a fully charged battery in the morning.
For some, it might be as simple as being in a bad mood when walking into a meeting. That’s like carrying excess emotional baggage from a previous interaction, which not only saps your energy but also distracts you from the task at hand.
For others, it’s far more complex trying to figure out what’s truly depleting their energy. They have absolutely no clue, but their energy just keeps continuously draining. If you enter a critical meeting in this state, your energy will drain faster than you realize. Recognizing and managing these triggers is key to preserving your energy for important tasks.
As an Executive, I discovered earlier on in my career that time and energy are deeply interconnected. This was a pivotal insight. I learned that the more efficiently you manage your energy, the more time you’ll have for strategic thinking and leadership. This shift moves you beyond merely filling your schedule to genuinely creating profound impact.
As a senior leader, you must recognize that your energy is a valuable resource. When managed effectively, it can make a significant difference in your ability to lead, make decisions, and drive success. It’s time to view your energy not just as a personal wellness concern, but as a truly strategic asset. When you manage it with the same rigor you apply to your financial portfolios or talent development, it becomes a powerful differentiator for your sustained success.
