Prior to our cacophonous age, people naturally found solitude anytime they were physically alone. In today’s world it can be difficult to find times and places to be alone with our thoughts as we are surrounded with a swarming variety of inputs and intrusions through most of our days and nights. In years past, solitude was so accessible that people used solitude without even being aware of it. Today it takes a conscious, concerted, and disciplined effort.
If solitude really is essential to effective personal leadership, then when and how do you summon the strength, find the white space in your calendar, and establish zones of solitude?

Secondly, be aware that solitude can be sustained, or intermittent, and can found as readily in a fast food restaurant as on top of a serene mountain. Finally, systematically build pockets of solitude into your life, times when nothing is scheduled.
