T
he key to high performance
is hard work multiplied by
recovery. Even though
these things may seem at
odds, they reinforce each
other. However, as most CEOs know,
the hard work comes easy and the real
challenge is in your ability to slow
down and recover.In order to maximise your health and
avoid burnout, organise a ‘brain break’
every three months. It doesn’t have to
be a big lavish getaway; a short road
trip to a new destination could be
exactly what the doctor ordered. Too
often I see people who are either too
worried about their business not being
able to cope without them, or they arewaiting for the perfect time to get away.
The reality is there is never a good time
to go, you just need to do it.I have often struggled to take time away
from my own business. However, now
I get excited to go away, not only for the
holiday but also because it helps me to
identify holes in my business and allowsA challenge for most CEOs is in knowing when to slow down and recover from all of the hard work.
