“When people clarify what matters and leverage their strengths, leaders emerge and anything is possible.”
Tips 4 Tuesday #3: Energy is Everything
Leadership isn’t just about time management—it’s about energy management. The best leaders don’t just work hard; they optimize their energy to lead at their best.
Here are four energy-maximizing strategies straight from Leading the High Energy Culture:
Tip #1: Own Your Energy Zones
Your energy isn’t constant; it fluctuates throughout the day. Identify your high-energy hours and schedule your most important work during that time. Protect those hours fiercely.
Tip #2: Manage Energy Like an Investment
Think of your energy as a bank account: deposits (exercise, sleep, meaningful work) increase it, while withdrawals (stress, distractions, negativity) drain it. Start tracking: Are you overdrawn?
Tip #3: Fuel Your Fire, Not Just Your Calendar
Busy doesn’t equal effective. High-energy leaders focus on the right tasks, the ones that ignite passion, create impact, and align with purpose. This week, audit your to-do list: What’s draining you? What’s fueling you?
Tip #4: Energy is Contagious, Spread it Wisely
Your team mirrors your energy. If you show up drained, distracted, or frustrated, so will they. Set the tone with positive, purpose-driven energy and watch it multiply.
