The Leadership Pause

“The best leaders understand that to create a positive impact on business, employees, customers, and the even the world, they need to be intentional about their personal practices. Through The Leadership Pause, Chris Johnson guides leaders through the necessary, critical steps to tap into their purpose and shine as drivers of change.”

-Kristy Wallace, CEO, Ellevate

“In today’s world of constant change, there’s a direct attack on our senses due to an overwhelming volume of distracting information. If allowed, we’ll slowly lose sight of what’s most important to us and replace it with what’s important to others. A pause allows for that brief moment of clarity, a lifting of the fog, a recalibration to remember what outcome is most important. As a person who spends most of his life sprinting through each day, the pause has allowed me to become a better learner, a more engaged communicator, and strategic in my decision-making. And, hopefully, a better leader!”

-Mark Melson, president and CEO, Gladney Center for Adoption

“When everyone and everything around you is urging you to ‘Go-Go-Go’ and ‘Push-Push-Push,’ the hardest thing in the world is to pause, and to pause in a way that allows you to see things differently. Chris has done an amazing job in this book with what is the most overlooked, but single most important leadership and entrepreneurial skill—the pause. Thank you, Chris!”

-Mark Silver, M.Div., founder and CEO, Heart of Business, Inc.

“A beautifully crafted book! Pause in your busyness and let it help you find and use the spaciousness between input and action.”

-Ginny Whitelaw, author of Resonate and The Zen Leader

“To pause and be centered, fully present in the moment, your attention focused precisely where you choose, is a superpower—yet it is based on a set of fundamental skills. In The Leadership Pause, Chris Johnson uncovers the essential skills that yield peak performance in leadership, whether leading a corporation, a PTA meeting, or a family activity.”
