You don’t need more “tools” and “hacks”, you need to implement the ones you already have

I find this to be a pretty useful definition of stress…..”Situations where you overestimate a problem while underestimating your ability to deal with it”.

We now know that just doing the next most urgent thing on your list is a sure-fire way to burn through mental energy way quicker than you should be doing.

Whether it’s Zoom or some other video conferencing option that you use, the principle is the same, a whole day on it or even just a few hours can leave you feeling short of a few energy credits.

Often when we work with senior leadership teams, they are very keen to lift the bar on the performance of the business but in actual fact, if they transform the culture, the performance will take care of itself.

So often we talk about accountability at work but as I mentioned in my previous blog, I’m yet to meet anyone who lacked accountability in their life who magically turned on accountability at work.

Accountability is a funny thing. There are so many different interpretations of what it is, who has it, who should have it, and of course the enigma of how to coach it in others.
