1) Use your time better
2) Work more (than you do already)
3) Focus your team on fewer things
4) Delegate more to team, peers, boss
5) Fixate on Optics (not Execution/Impact)
6) Get *a lot* better at the job

#6 doesn't happen solely by doing 1-5 repeatedly
It requires proactive investment

They are exhausted, but are no longer aware of the treadmill!!
