The Sabbatical Effect

Stefan Sagmeister is a very talented designer running a high profile design firm in New York. There is nothing very remarkable about that. But Stefan also closes his firm for an ENTIRE YEAR every seven years. What is interesting is that Stefan's sabbatical started out as a way to enjoy a glimpse of retirement earlier in life. What he found out was that the sabbatical was essential to rejuvenating and re-energizing the creative capacity upon which his firm's success was founded.

Watch Stefan's TED talk below and ask yourself what you need to do to generate the "sabbatical effect" in your business.
