How very interesting it has been introducing a new puppy into our family. For each of us we have learned to focus on the present and take joy from the here and now. I recall doing this when the girls were little too – and I reflect now on how important it is as a life skill.
For many leaders they are forever stretching to the future and the experiences and outcomes they want for the future. And they can do this to such an extent that the here and now is glossed over. They are leading people; people who need to work in the here and now and who want to feel appreciated and recognized for what they do in the here and now.
Courageous leaders know how to address this tension and ensure they invest energy in the here and now and being present.
What are your experiences of living in the present?
