The present isn't afraid of consuming all your available time and then some. In order to plan for the future, you must carve time out of your schedule.
This is sage advice. I recently moved from Assistant Director (operations portfolio) to Director and I had to be very conscious and structured in changing my approach to allow me more time to 'look up and out' and be more strategic in my thinking.
That is a really great example, thanks for sharing! I think the greater your leadership responsibility, the more pressure there will be from daily activities. If you let it, you won't have a spare moment to think about what's next!
