To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In their book,\u00a0The Power of Full Engagement<\/em>,\u00a0James E. Loehr<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tony Schwartz<\/a>\u00a0share their thoughts with great leaders about how to achieve their optimal levels of performance. One fact at the heart of their teaching is the belief that \u201cenergy, not time, is the fundamental currency of optimal performance<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0Simon Sinek<\/a>, however, sees both time and energy as equals: \u201cTime and energy. Those are the most valuable sacrifices leaders can make<\/em>.\u201d \u00a0Two different perspectives, yet both speak of the same two elements. No surprise because of their natural linkage – energy is expended in time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The value of these opposite perspectives is that they give great leaders a moment of pause, a pause to think separately of how their time is being spent, and how they are using their energies in that time. Higher levels of energy, be they physical, mental, spiritual or emotional, produce outstanding results. Energy, therefore, needs to be managed effectively \u2013 renewed, expanded in capacity and used decisively. Time, too, requires attention \u2013 its prudent use both in focus (e.g. prioritizing, doing, avoiding) and duration. Unlike energy, it is not a renewable resource.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Time and energy are the precious tools in the great leaders\u2019 hands to control. Both are finite. The challenge of great leaders is to maximize both in achieving their optimal level of performance as they achieve their life\u2019s purpose and meaning. May you remembers always the words of\u00a0Tony Robbins<\/a>: \u201cWhere focus goes, energy flows. And if you don\u2019t take the time to focus on what matters, then you\u2019re living a life of someone else\u2019s design<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n
