Leadership development often lacks continuity, strategy, and perspective. Kubicek asserts that what is needed is more holistic thinking, understanding that “raising leaders is not a program; it is a way of life.” Leaders must be intentional about raising capacity and improving capabilities. One way is to be more intentional about the use of time, especially by getting more out of what he refers to as “informal time.” Building development into such segments as exercise and driving to work provides a boost of “trading up” to a new level of thought and action.
