The brutal truth: Multitasking is killing your leadership

Hi again,

I hope all is well.

In a world full of distractions, being present can be one of the most powerful things a leader can do.

One CEO I worked with realized that his habit of multitasking during meetings made his team feel unimportant. He committed to being fully present, and the impact was immediate.

What he changed:

  • He put away his phone and closed his laptop during meetings.
  • Practiced active listening to ensure everyone felt heard.
  • Made his availability predictable, so his team could count on his focus when it mattered most.

Your reflection: Are you giving your team your full attention, or could you improve your presence?
