Why are leaders so busy?

Saturday, 23 May 2026 05:29 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

If you are always busy, with no ‘white spaces’ (for thinking and deliberating) in your schedule, chances are that you are:

Involved excessively in operational matters— manifesting in endless meetings and eventually running out of steam.
Compulsively checking and responding to emails throughout the day — draining your energy.
Engaged in too many ritualistic, non-value-adding activities — without ever challenging them with the ‘So what?’ question.
Micromanaging — either out of habit or due to an inability to trust your team to ‘consider it done’.
