Why do I need a Shultz Hour in my weekly routine?
About this episode
As Ronald Reagan’s US Secretary of State during the 1980s, George Shultz played a key role in bringing an end to the decades-old Cold War. He helped build relations with USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev, as well as countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1989, Shultz was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his services, the United States’ highest civilian honour. He passed away in February 2021, having lived to the ripe old age of 100. But before he did, he shared one of the secrets behind his productivity and difficult decision-making: the Shultz Hour. And it’s something a lot of us could do with in this modern age. So what is it actually? It’s often hard to find time to think, isn’t it? How can I go about creating my own Shultz Hour? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
