Can Travel Make You A Better Leader?

Research, over the years, has established that travelling (and not simply sitting behind a computer screen) comes with several, scientifically-proven physical and cognitive benefits. One of the greatest? Better overall well-being, which then contributes to better productivity. The occasional vacation has also been associated with decreased risks of heart attacks and depression, and even improved brain health. It’s true: the shortest of getaways can work as a wondrous relaxant, significantly ebbing stress levels, invigorating both the mind and spirit. Here’s the secret—if done right, travelling can also act as a potent antidote to the vapidity that can sometimes fog up a professional life. The exposure that comes with exploring new lands, people, and cultures also polishes your personality—and that, subsequently, bolsters your performance. Without even realising it, you come back a changed person, a more effective leader: more open to seeing through stereotypes; readier to adapt, compromise, collaborate, and negotiate. In fact, 94 percent of business leaders in the US admit that “being well-travelled has provided them with a competitive advantage in the workplace”, according to a report by Brightspark EduTravel, a reputed Chicago-based travel agency.
