How To Find Better Spaces To Do Your Best Work in 2025

Loading player...
In the final part of The CEO Playbook series, Rudolf Rautenbach and John Watson breakdown the critical role of environments in maximizing one's effectiveness in their roles and relationships.

They explore personal preferences for workspaces, the importance of building relationships in various environments, and the need for intentionality in assessing and improving these environments. One cannot leave environments up to chance that they will work in your favour. Intentionality in choosing environments can lead to better outcomes in roles and relationships. The networking events you attend should energize you, not drain you; so choose wisely.

There are 4 practical strategies unpacked to help you in 2025:
Cast Away - get out of bad environments
Change - help improve your current environments
Choose - find better environments to operate in
Create - if it doesn't exist, be the captain of a new environment

Regularly reflecting on your environments will help you make better decisions in 2025 that will directly impact your roles and relationships too.
