5 Ways to Open Your World Outside of Work

In Great Leaders Grow (Berrett-Koehler, 2012), authors Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller suggest that leaders who expand their views outside of work are more creative, personally fulfilled, and can contribute more to their job.

• Travel can lead to life-changing experiences and broaden a leader’s perspective.
• Volunteer work can improve a leader’s sense of self and be a fulfilling activity.
• Reading can revive a leader’s creativity and can lead to more innovative ideas.
• Exposure to the arts by going to museums, plays, and concerts is another way of improving a leader’s creativity and expanding their cultural experiences.
• Adventure experiences like skydiving and mountain climbing will allow leaders to live a healthy life style and give them a revived sense of energy.
