🌟 While we no longer record the Q&A discussions during our Leadership Strategy Sessions, we continue to record the opening teaching. Enjoy a special preview of what I shared about summer OpTempo. If you want to see the full discussion and take part in upcoming sessions, consider upgrading to join us live.
June isn’t just “a little off.” Research shows that from June through August:
Productivity drops by up to 20%
Attendance falls by 19%
Distraction increases by 45%1
Deadlines collide with vacations. Energy dips. Teams fall out of sync. But great leaders harness these shifts rather than resist or ignore them.
Instead of pushing harder when capacity is lowest, this is a chance to make June a strategic advantage. It's not about slowing down; it's about creating space for what matters most to emerge.
This sets the stage for our entire summer series as we tackle the unique challenges each month brings:
July: Leading When Calendar Time Breaks
August: Reboarding Without the Whiplash
This month we also covered:
Getting Ahead of Team Burnout: Understanding what's really driving time-off requests and addressing underlying needs before they spread
Setting Clear Leadership Boundaries: Defining when you're in friend mode versus founder mode with former peers
Planning Successful Work Reentry: Building in transition time and capacity adjustments when returning from extended time away
Paid subscribers have access to two monthly calls: Leadership Strategy Sessions (1st Wednesday of the month) and Monthly Momentum Calls (3rd Wednesday of the month).
These monthly calls are part of a Paid subscription ($10/month or $100/year) to Productive Flourishing.
