As leaders, work/life balance is a hot topic. But, do you have a clear definition of what this even means? Do you know what your team members think it means? Some definitions that I don't think are helpful:
- work/life balance means equal time on professional and personal endeavors
- work/life balance means I want the convenience of working at home
- work/life balance means time away from work to take care of personal tasks
I actually love the definition from Maura Thomas's Forbes article: "don't work too much". What would this look like for you and your team?
From there, as leaders, we also need to ensure we are walking the talk in 3 specific areas:
1. Boundaries - do you honor your employee's boundaries?
2. Self Care - do your employees feel they can take care of themselves without jumping through a bunch of hoops?
3. Saying No - can you receive a "no" from your team?
