■ The value of walking as a founder or leader

Up: § Business philosophies

• I’ve long had a walking habit

  • The evening walk - Feb 2013
  • Dreams come true - April 2013

• These days it’s actually been incorporated into my workday much of the time

• Walking, thinking, is work. It’s not something I must fit in outside of work.

  • Something I’ve recently been realizing: my office shouldn’t be the only location I do “work”.

Clear types of work that I have built in a walk as part of the work:

• All Hands

• § Leadership Roundtables

• My performance review workflow

• Walking is processing time ■ How I work: Input, Processing, Output

• Walking lets the mind settle, stop being noisy

• Walking leads to clear-mindedness

• This leads to better decisions, and it leads to better direction setting for your team
