Back At It
The grill marks have barely faded, the firework smoke has barely cleared, and your dog’s PTSD is still visible. Regardless, it’s time to return to work with some intention.
Summer has a way of lulling everyone into a slower rhythm. Calendars clear out. Deadlines stretch. People go dark with suspiciously vague out-of-office replies. It can be tempting to ease off the gas and to let things drift until September. But this stretch of time, between the Fourth of July and Labor Day, is actually one of the most quietly powerful times of the year for leaders.
It’s a window for catching up, clearing out, tightening strategy, and setting things in motion while everyone else is half-checked out. A time to re-engage your team in small but meaningful ways, sharpen communication, and focus your own energy on what matters most.
The best teams don’t take the summer off.
