Positive Leadership: Practice What You Preach


Leah Busque, founder and CEO of TaskRabbit, said that focusing only on larger end goals can be overwhelming. Instead, she focuses on each smaller step.

“I wake up every morning with a singular goal - to push my company as far as I can that day. My company is dedicated to solving a pretty huge problem, and it can be overwhelming to think of the magnitude of this vision. My approach is to choose specific and actionable items to complete each day to move us closer to these goals, and to encourage everyone on my team to do the same. This keeps us on track for accomplishing the big picture,” Busque says.

So, true to the mission of her company, she outsources everything that's not vital - laundry, grocery shopping, house cleaning - to free her up for the important stuff.

"Which brings me to my biggest productivity secret: I love what I do. Knowing TaskRabbit is poised to revolutionise work as we know it is like rocket fuel to me.”
