How do you model renewal as a leader?
Many leaders subscribe to the idea of the “daily grind”—they see work is an inherently draining endeavor they need to simply push through. But great leaders recognise the importance of renewal and view energy as a crucial asset they cultivate to lift both people and performance.
When you can readily identify and eliminate common energy drainers, focus on the factors in your control, and reframe your leadership role as a crucial contribution, you’ll drive alignment, engagement, and fulfillment across your team.
Low energy may be low engagement in disguise.
The most obvious signs of low energy at work (like fatigue, irritation, and lack of focus, initiative, or productivity) are often a symptom of low engagement. When team members are overwhelmed with interruptions, unproductive meetings, or competing priorities, they’ll understandably feel drained and worn out. But they’ll need more than a giant cup of coffee or a good night’s sleep to feel reinvigorated in their roles.
By zeroing in on and zapping the biggest energy drainers affecting your team, you can free up time and resources for more meaningful, re-energising work—all while building trust, connection, and creative excitement
We must never become too busy sawing to take time to sharpen the saw.
