He discusses the importance of incorporating moments of stillness and movement into a leader's daily routine to enhance clarity, energy, and decision-making.

The episode offers practical tips to integrate these pauses into busy schedules, emphasizing that taking time to think is not a luxury but a strategic necessity for effective leadership.
