Keeping Balance in Your Life During the Holidays

Jen Slaw

For many CEOs and C-Suite executives, holidays can be particularly stressful. Many people tell us that although they may be on vacation at some point during this time, they never feel like they can completely go offline and relax.

Yes, we all know that it’s important to shut off devices and tune out so you can restore your mental and spiritual reserves. But there are always competing demands for time and attention. You don’t want to miss out on opportunities, but burning out is not a good option either.

The best way to distinguish between helpful and harmful assumptions

We were recently asked, “When is it most helpful for leaders to make assumptions?” Here’s our answer.

We believe there are definitely times when assumptions can be very helpful. The key is to recognize when you’re making assumptions and to distinguish between those that can benefit you and those that can harm you.

It’s true that you can’t afford to take the time to question everything. In fact, research shows that our tendency to make assumptions is hard-wired into our brains and helps us function in the world. Consider the following scenarios: Read More
