Breathe

You have emails to write.

You have meetings to attend.

You have projects to move forward.

You have a team relying on you.

You have direct reports craving development.

You have partners vying for your perspective.

You live in a world inundated with deliverables.

Stop. Take a breath.

Feel the pause that a single breath offers your mind.

Great leaders do not write more emails or deliver more deliverables.

Great leaders understand that their contribution is to enable the breath of others.

Instead of solving a problem today, give someone's mind a breath.
