Book Giveaway – The Pause Principle: Step Back To Lead Forward

I have been thinking a lot about balance lately. This book, The Pause Principle, was mailed to me for review at the perfect time.  After reading the title, I really didn’t think I was going to like it but just one chapter in and I knew that this book was exactly what I needed at this point in my life.  Things were moving too fast and I need to pause, figure out my priorities and make sure that my life gets back in balance.

In our fast-paced, achieve-more-now culture, the loss of pause potential is epidemic.  If leaders today do not step back, to stop momentum, to gain perspective, to transcend the immediacies of life and to accelerate their leadership, we will continue to crash economically, personally and collectively.” -Kevin Cashman

Here are 3 things I learned about why it is important to pause to step back in order to lead forward:

  1. What sleep is to the mind and body, pause is to leadership and innovation. Pause transforms management into leadership and the status quo into new realities.
  2. If you are trying to lead change in your organization, you have to first know that all real change begins with self-change and pause is a catalyst for self-change.
  3. Managers control systems and processes to produce results; leaders foster meaning and purpose to achieve transformative growth.  Pause so that you can be a leader on purpose by identifying your core values and talents.
