Executives think they need to be marathoners when in reality they need to be more like sprinters.

Marathoners   can run as long and as fast as possible, but in fact executives need to be more like sprinters, putting everything they’ve got into a short burst of speed and then recuperate.  When you schedule time in your calendar away from work, you’ll not only be calmer but   you’ll also have a chance to refocus on the big picture.  Find the zone between being overwhelmed and   being apathetic, the state athletes call “flow”.
