Beyond Leading

Ep 16 - Procrastination: It's Not What You Think


Listen Later

with Alec Pearson, Nick Sellers and Tiffany Barnard.

In this episode of Beyond Leading, we tackle something every leader, manager and professional quietly struggles with, but rarely talks about honestly - Procrastination.

This conversation challenges some of the most common assumptions people make about why they put things off. It is not about laziness. It is not about poor time management. And it is not always a bad thing.

We explore:

  • what procrastination really is, and what it is not
  • where the line is between putting something off and genuinely thinking it through
  • the role perfectionism and self-doubt play and why most people never make the connection
  • why some leaders actually need stress to get things done, and whether that is a good thing
  • the practical approaches that help, and why some popular advice misses the mark
  • what procrastination reveals about how leaders ask for help

If you have ever found yourself doing everything except the one thing you actually need to do - this episode is for you.
