In this episode, we explore what it means for a leader to take a sabbatical when business is going great. CEO Chris Hutchinson shares his anxieties and excitements about taking four months away from the business. How can you prepare your team for a similar sort of intentional break that serves you and your organization?
TAKEAWAYS!
When the CEO steps away from the business, everyone has a chance to thrive a bit more in their own sweet spots.
Transparency helps everyone in the organization prepare and answer questions they may be making up in their own heads.
The world is fragile, and there are chances to be ‘anti-fragile’ by testing things. We can coach ourselves and others to figure out how to move forward with what we want and need with courage.
You can “take a sabbatical” as a thought exercise. What would you need to explore to be successful? What would the organization need? What would the team need?
