Perfectionism Will Slow You Down in a Crisis: To decrease distractibility and increase mental agility, think of your leadership work right now in terms of small sprints — together they may make up a marathon, but each is its own race. Between every sprint, allow yourself a few moments of pause. Let your mind settle down for even just a minute. Take many small pauses throughout the day when you are not trying to achieve anything. These pauses will deepen both your focus and awareness and help you assess whether you are focusing on the right things.
To bring more compassion into your leadership and unlock greater agility, make a habit of asking yourself a simple question whenever you are with another person: How can I be of benefit to this person? This simple question repeated many times through the day will gradually rewire your way of thinking and acting.
