How 6:30 Partners Got its Name
Executives are busier than ever – and one of the easier things to let go of is the time we spend developing our people. But we all know it’s best to incorporate people development into our daily business practice. I found this was a challenge for myself and my team when I was a CEO, so to counter this tendency we committed to spend the last 30 minutes of every day doing “people stuff.” That could be coaching, or taking a few people out for a beer, or just chatting with junior team members. We usually did this between 6:30 and 7:00, so to keep each other honest, we started to ask each other: have you done your 6:30?
