Are you so busy getting through each day that you\u2019re not planning for the long term? Being caught in execution mode isn\u2019t a bad thing. But you have to stop from time to time and ask yourself if what you\u2019re doing is, in fact, the RIGHT thing. The thing that will get you closer to your long-term goals. So, how do you make space in your calendar to consider the long game? How do you become a long-term thinker in a short-term world? Dorie Clark was named the #1 Communication Coach at the Marshall Goldsmith Leading Global Coaches Awards and one of the Top 50 Business Thinkers in the World. Dorie also teaches at Duke University\u2019s Fuqua School of Business and Columbia Business School, and she is the bestselling author of several books, including The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World. On this episode of Workplace Forward, Dorie joins me to explore why it\u2019s so challenging to commit to the long game and explain how to decide what\u2019s worthy of the long game for you. She discusses the confusion around being busy versus being important, challenging leaders to maximize our time and make space in the calendar for long-term thinking.
