Leaders: Change Yourself, Change Your World
Leaders who are determined to make outward change in the world cannot do so without also looking inward at today’s unhealthy and unsustainable work environment. In practice, the mission-driven leaders who have the most effective and sustainable professional lives—and in the long-run are likely to make the biggest impact—are those whose plans for the world align with their own behaviors and the behaviors they cultivate inside their organizations. But all too often, a laser-like focus on the mission comes at the price of a leader’s own health and wellbeing, as well as that of their team.
In this talk, Tony Schwartz breaks down the delicate balance between building an organization that is right for the world and building a work environment that is just right—and how focusing on one without the other is unsustainable.
Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time
Demand in our lives is increasing relentlessly. Our capacity isn’t keeping pace. We’re trying to operate in the same way that computers do: continuously, at high speeds, for long periods of time, running multiple programs at the same time. It’s a prescription for burnout, disengagement and failure. Human beings are at our best when we move between periods of expending energy and intermittently renewing our energy. The better we manage our energy, the more value we’re capable of creating.
In this talk, Tony Schwartz shares the four energy dimensions you need to fuel in order to perform at your best and a scientifically-based paradigm for how to work (and live) in a way that is more productive and more satisfying.
