À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode, we examine the difference between urgent and important work and why confusing the two is one of the most common failure modes in complex environments.
Using the Eisenhower Matrix as a guiding framework, the discussion highlights how leaders often become trapped in cycles of reactivity — responding to emails, meetings, and escalations — while neglecting the strategic, preventative work that reduces risk and enables long-term success.
A real-world project example illustrates how postponing important-but-not-urgent activities can lead to avoidable issues during critical reviews, despite teams being busy and highly responsive. The episode concludes with a reflection on leadership discipline, intentional time allocation, and the need to protect space for foresight, learning, and system-level thinking.
The key message is simple but challenging: effective leadership is not about speed — it’s about judgment.
