It’s easy to be distracted as a leader. I do it myself. We want to be great leaders. We want to be efficient and competent. But we’re also told a big lie – that you can multi-task, that you can do it all, that we can have an open door while doing your own work – all the time. There’s a cultural acceptance that we’re going to be distracted.

One important way to achieve this is to support your team in discovering their own balance. When a team member goes on parental leave, it creates a gap in the workplace, and a potential for imbalance. If not handled intentionally, the transition can be difficult for the team member (they can feel out of the loop and unappreciated) and the team (they may take on more work and burnout).

You can’t force other people to grow.
Instead as a leader, your role is to model behaviour, to help them see possibilities, and to take that first step.
