Your Calendar Is Lying To You—And It's Costing You Everything

The greatest deception in modern leadership: believing your calendar reflects your priorities.

After analyzing thousands of executive schedules, I've discovered a startling truth—what appears on leaders' calendars rarely aligns with their stated strategic priorities. Most schedules reveal reactive decision-making rather than proactive value creation, with over 70% of time spent on activities that don't directly advance their most important objectives.

This Week's Performance Accelerators:

• • Conduct a "calendar audit" comparing time allocation against stated priorities
• • Block "proactive priority time" before others can claim your schedule
• • Implement a "meeting tax"—require clear objectives before accepting invitations

The six-figure insight: Your calendar isn't a record of demands—it's your most powerful statement of what truly matters. Research from McKinsey & Company validates this concern—their 2022 executive time study found that leaders who aligned calendars with strategic priorities delivered 2.3x more business impact than peers with reactive scheduling practices.

If your calendar testified against you, would it prove you're living your priorities or someone else's?
