Brad has offered listeners to explore their awareness around being present through this free and easy assessment: https://anchoradvisors.com/self-leadership-assessment/
In this episode, Dean Newlund and Brad Farris discuss:
The importance of presence in leadership and productivity
The concept of urgency addiction and its impact on decision-making
Email and meeting management as reflections of leadership habits
True listening as a foundation for trust and collaboration
Self-leadership, reflection, and cultivating flow for creativity
Key Takeaways:
By slowing down and providing thoughtful, complete responses, email exchanges become shorter and more effective, reducing inbox overwhelm and freeing up time for higher-value work.
The constant pursuit of speed and urgency can create an addictive cycle that feels rewarding in the moment but ultimately drains creativity, damages collaboration, and weakens relationships.
Leaders who intentionally restructure their calendars to include fewer or more spacious meetings create the mental space necessary for presence, deeper reflection, and sustained problem-solving.
Practicing intentional, focused listening helps people feel valued and understood, which not only reduces conflict but also builds trust and empowers teams to act independently and effectively.
"The present moment is the place where we can act… It’s actually kind of a productivity superpower.” — Brad Farris
