The challenges business face today are much more complex than in past times. Today leadership focuses more on the ability to get things done through collaboration rather than topical expertise. With the proliferation of emails and meetings in today’s business climate, setting aside time for reflection rather than just reaction has become increasingly challenging. Dr. Richard Jolly of the London Business School describes this syndrome as Hurry Sickness. Studying 2,000 executives per year for the last decade Dr. Jolly estimate that over 95% of today’s executives suffer from this syndrome.
