“There is no amount of time I could say is enough. And with all my demands, my teams could improve to give fewer worries. That’s the bare minimum. If only I could have a 48h day.”

The higher you get, the higher the pressure. And I can sense that in some way or another, you, too, one day had a similar internal monologue.

And that’s common. At least it was something that the Daniel Goleman’s team discovered in one of their studies:

“Many leaders told us they don’t have the time in this high-pressure economy for the slow and tedious work of teaching people and helping them grow.” - Daniel Goleman
