Find the full transcript at YourFutureRealized.com/131.
This is something I always hear from ops execs: “I just can’t make time for strategy.”
On the surface, it sounds like a scheduling thing. But underneath, there’s usually a deeper worry:“What if I’ve gotten too far from my best thinking and can’t find my way back?” There’s usually also background pressure when the bigger priorities keep slipping.
Not long ago, when a calf strain benched me from running, I wasn’t just frustrated — I was scared my get-up-and-go would die. That I’d lose the part of me that comes alive when I run, the rhythm and the mental reset.
That led me to a simple practice I use with leaders who want strategy time back in the real world. In this episode, I’ll share it so you can reconnect with what you truly miss and start moving again on the big priorities.
