In this excerpt from the Leader's Kitbag episode, Ben Morton argues that reset meetings should be viewed as a high‑return investment rather than a cost. He explains that the clarity, engagement, connection, and energy gained from a reset far outweigh the time spent. Successful teams never cancel these meetings, even under pressure; they prioritize and protect them. Morton concludes with a concrete action: review your schedule and deliberately set aside a moment for the team to pause, review, and reset.

And the key is not to think of it as just a cost, but to think about the return that you get on the time invested. Because what it gives back in terms of clarity, engagement, connection, and energy far outweighs the time you've spent on that reset. The best teams I've had the privilege to be a part of or work with all tend to share one thing in common when it comes to these reset meetings, and that is they don't cancel them when things get busy or when the pressure mounts. They prioritize them and they make sure they happen. They take that moment to pause, review, reset, and then they go again. So here's a simple action you can take from today's episode of the Leader's Kitbag. Look at your schedule for you and your team and plan in a moment to take a pause, to reset.
