Do You Report to Your Blackberry?
Technology and leadership interact constantly….one affects the other.
Leaders I know are running hard with work, teams, projects, family and many experience the time pressure, time sensitive nature of it all. Red Bull sales meet a need in a multitasking environment.
Intensity reigns. Some leaders cannot define “vacation”….literally. I know because I ask them.
Jim Collins, author of “Good to Great” recently said a “stop doing list” is more important than the things that populate “to do lists”. Why? Without a way to define or put a boundary on expanding workloads, they overtake your life. There are no work limits and our bodies have limits…heart attacks, exhaustion, burn out…
What about technology? Do you establish controls on your interactions with emails, text messages, voice mails….or do you respond to their hits? Be honest. Do you know key players who converse while texting? Can you “hear” it even on the phone? Are you one of them?
I know one leadership development course that strips participants of their technology hardware on day one amid great angst. By day three, they do not want it back. Sound funny?
Without limits, your reality may be that you, in fact, report to your blackberry. Who’s leading here?
