		<description><![CDATA[One of the challenge that many leaders face in their seemingly endless string of days of teaching, leading, motivating, supporting, challenging and guiding their colleagues is how to refresh and recharge. It's an important topic and one that is under-represented (in my opinion) in the leadership literature, including my own.

It’s difficult to be “on” all of the time, and for leaders, the stress fractures show through usually in the form of snapping or growling at someone. While never good form, the momentary break from behavior is indicative of the need to take a few deep breaths or to even look towards tomorrow as a chance to start over and get things right.

Sometimes what’s needed is a good Power-Washing for the leader’s attitude and soul.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/06/22/leadership-caffeine-for-the-new-week-power-washed-guest-post/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine for the New Week: Power-Washed!
