I once interviewed a CEO of a local authority for an article and I was curious to know how she managed such a demanding job. I asked her if she had any advice, and was expecting a corporate response. Instead, she said, “Always use up all your annual leave, and make sure you take time to rest when you need it.”
I remember pressing her on that point, wanting to know how someone with her schedule and a busy family life manages to make space for rest. It turned out that this CEO practised what she preached, and encouraged her staff to do the same.
