Recovery is part of executive performance

Sustained performance is not simply endurance. It depends on whether a leader has enough capacity to think, listen, and choose well tomorrow.

Constant activation can become normal in high-demand environments, but it carries a cost in attention, emotional regulation, and judgment.

Recovery is not a reward after performance. It is one of the conditions that enables performance.

Leaders can begin with small, repeatable practices that create a moment of reset before the next decision or conversation.
