## Resource

On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the concept of protected time, and how leaders stay effective my ensuring they have time for their key personal and professional priorities. Robert shares why he never arranged work travel on his kids' birthdays, how he blocks off time for strategic thinking, and how he coached his leadership team to manage their calendars for ideal effectiveness.
