The happiest leaders we know are those where their business Bull's Eye is in alignment with their personal Bull's Eye.
Many of us can see how easy it is to spend time and energy on the business; and if something needs sorting, as it invariably does, then we are the ones to do it. After all, that's our job isn't it?
What actually goes out the window is the time and energy we spend on the other areas of our life. We don't show up for the parents evening; the round of golf on Sunday gets cancelled and the meal out we scheduled with our partner will just have to be postponed. Again.And as this pattern repeats itself time after time after time, we vaguely look for the light at the end of the tunnel. We promise that it will get better, but the reality is we have no idea exactly how that will happen.
This is why we are doing more and more Bull's Eye sessions for business leaders with other key family members present, like partners for example. And these may be partners who don't even work in the business.
The truth is that you can never put a Bull's Eye for your business together, designed to develop and sustain competitive advantage, without incorporating the main aspects of your personal life as well.
The happiest leaders...
