Time is Not on Your Side.

It's Time to Change the Game.

This is NOT a book on time management, or getting more efficient.

It is a book about being more effective as a leader by re-discovering how to engage with your people, the way you think about your business, and the energy and passion you put toward it.

Leaders Are Losing The War Against Time.

It’s time to start winning it - by re-learning how to be PRESENT.

The Key Components of Being Present

Physical Presence

Too often, we get enamored with the elegance or brilliance of our strategy, plan or vision as if the words alone are sufficient to stir the soul. What gets people to dig deep and rally is when they feel the commitment and energy of management to that vision or strategy. That can only come when you are physically present.

Mental Presence

Right now, given the flurry of distractions and stimulus coming at them, leaders can be barreling ahead to keep up and fail to step back and apply the higher order of critical thinking to their organization. It takes an intentional, focused effort to bear down and think deeply, critically and even creatively about the world around us. It takes a commitment, practice and discipline for it to become a habit. Great leaders are present mentally.

Emotional Presence

Many executives labor under the misunderstanding that leadership is about staying cool, reserved and a bit distant as a well-intended practice to remain independent in their thinking and actions. They couldn’t be more wrong. The reality is that fact and knowledge inform our actions but emotion is the fuel. Having a passion, an ability to speak to the heart as well as the mind is the mark of an emotionally present leader.
