In this "Lessons" episode, former Fortune 500 CEO Klaus Kleinfeld unpacks the real reason leaders—and their teams—burn out: a failure to manage energy, not time. Learn how elite performers stay in their “performance zone” by practicing micro-recharge habits like walking or breathing, why downtime is actually productive time when used intentionally, and how purpose acts as a laser, focusing scattered effort into transformative leadership. From saving lives with medical tech to turning around billion-dollar companies, Kleinfeld shows how understanding your energy dynamics—shifting between survival, performance, and recovery—can help you lead through crisis, make high-stakes decisions, and inspire lasting change.
