Lead Yourself First by Raymond Kethledge and Michael Erwin #1999

Today’s wisdom comes from Lead Yourself First by Raymond Kethledge and Michael Erwin.

They remind us: “Clarity and leadership come from solitude.”

Great leadership begins with reflection. When we take time to step away from the noise, we can make better decisions and inspire others.

Here’s how to practice solitude today:

First, schedule quiet time. They write: “Great leaders set aside time for deep reflection.” Block out 15 minutes today to think about your priorities.

Next, focus on big questions. Ask yourself: “What matters most? What values guide my decisions?”

And finally, lead with intention. They remind us: “Leadership is about aligning your actions with your values.”

So... What’s one way you can create space for solitude in your life today?
