With multiple months of challenging news, ever-changing obstacles, and an uncertain business climate, it can be hard to find the success in any situation.

Your work is finished here. Does that really ever happen anymore?

We don’t live in a ‘done’ world. No leadership jobs really have a ‘finished’ point for all the work. There needs to be a mind shift away from thinking, “I am done,” to more of, “this is what I have accomplished.” When we reach a point in each day when we can say, “I am complete with this day, and here is what I have accomplished.” Without that, we will (and probably do, or try) to work long into the evening forsaking other activities we could or should be doing for ourselves or with friends and family.
