Managing Energy:
the Key to Sustaining High Performance
Nov04-35

“To be fully engaged in our lives, we must be physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused and spiritually aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self-interest.” – Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz, The Power of Full Engagement, 2003.
Some executives thrive under pressure, others wilt. There is an epidemic of stress and burnout in our personal and work lives. While we pride ourselves on our ability to multi-task, the more efficient we become, the more responsibilities we take on, and with it more stress.
The tools for sustaining high performance are not taught in business schools or leadership development courses. Depleted energy may be one of the reasons more than 2/3 of employees feel less than fully engaged at work (Gallup Organization, 2004).
Becoming a Corporate Athlete
Some of the secrets of sustaining energy and high performance come from studying professional athletes. Professional athletes spend most of their time training and, at most, a few hours a week actually competing. Corporate executives, however, have almost no time for training and must perform at peak levels under intense scrutiny and competition for often 12 or 14 hours a day.
Working with an executive coach is a good way to reevaluate your performance in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual domains.
