5 Tips for Renewing Yourself as a Leader

culled from:entrepreneur.com

1.Take a time-out each day. Put a "Gone Thinking" sign on your door and don't let anyone disturb you.


2.Pursue hobbies and interests outside your business. They'll provide relaxation and may inspire creative ideas you can feed back into the business.


3.Take a vacation or a sabbatical. (But first, make sure you leave the company in good hands!)


4.Spend time with your family. Kids provide a refreshing perspective.


5.Do something you've always wanted to do but never did--learn to build a house, or take a course in acting.
