Embrace Contemplation to Avoid Stagnation

Many individuals actively avoid situations that compel deep thought, opting instead for a jam-packed schedule to escape contemplation. This avoidance can lead to a lack of long-term vision, as demonstrated by a CEO who was dismissed for failing to articulate a strategic plan. His full calendar, while seemingly productive, masked a reluctance to engage in the critical thinking necessary for leadership and foresight. Embracing moments of solitude and reflection can foster better decision-making and strategic clarity.
