INSTANT MBA: Don't Get Stuck In A Daily Routine

"Your schedule makes you dumber. Force yourself outside of your daily schedule. Be curious and take time to learn about worlds outside of the one you live in. Watch the news, read the paper, educate yourself. Don’t be afraid to call people you don’t know, start a conversation, and ask for things you need. At the very least, you’ll be more interesting. At the most, you’ll take your business in new and bigger directions."

Emanuel says that it's so easy to get stuck in your ways that you forget the world of possibilities are out there. The more open you are to new experiences, the more creative you'll become. According to Emanuel, this is important because creativity fuels businesses. You may not realize it, but by becoming a more interesting leader, you business will by default become bigger, better and more interesting.

"In the end, it’s all about creative ideas and content – it’s the lifeblood of our business. I’m fortunate enough to work with the writers, directors, musicians and actors who are defining culture with their voices. It’s why I come to work in the morning. In 100 years, when the world looks different, and we communicate in new ways, and we have more devices and platforms and distribution methods, I believe great artistry will still matter most."
