  • 148 - Leadership Beyond the Clock - David Buck’s Formula for Time and Legacy
    2024/11/07

    David Buck, founder of Kairos Management Solutions, reveals how leaders can optimize their time and delegate effectively to create lasting impact. Buck emphasizes the difference between "Chronos" (clock time) and "Kairos" (the quality of time), urging leaders to focus on purposeful, quality-driven time management. By flipping the traditional reactive approach to time, Buck advocates for proactive planning that allows leaders to not only manage their workloads but also create room for innovation and strategy.

    The conversation also touches on the critical role of delegation. Buck encourages leaders to trust their teams and provide small, manageable tasks that foster growth, all while accepting that mistakes will happen—and should be turned into learning opportunities. His insights on balancing time, delegation, and leadership paint a compelling picture for those striving to leave a legacy beyond their own achievements.
