Leibham & Company Corporate & Management Consulting

As things slow down over the summer months, the timing may be right for you to focus on your leadership development in preparation for the fall.

There are a few actions you can take over the summer to re-energize, such as:

Pull out your last appraisal or performance plan and evaluate your progress - what specific successes have you achieved to date?
Set a golf tee time and gather 3 other players to join you - preferably 3 players you seldom have a chance to network with.
Work on numbers drills while sitting at the beach using a Math puzzle magazine.
Make a list of at least 5 colleagues both inside and outside of your organization and book appointments for lunch to network and gather information on what is coming up in your respective businesses this fall.
Use your vacation time to totally unwind and focus on your personal and family relationships. Reflect on your practices for balance with total honesty - are you spending enough time with the people who are important to you?
