#Beingaleader means you need to be aware of your own and others’ well being. You are responsible for your health and for the health of others that you lead.
Do you know that your well being is of the utmost importance for health, success and longevity of your leadership? Well being is defined as taking care of yourself. Doing the things necessary for sustainability. Being good to yourself. Not always putting others first to your detriment. Taking the training and getting the input to improve and to be more efficient to give yourself more time for other things. Taking the breaks needed from the stress to rejuvenate and even have fun. Your well being is important to you and will set an example to your team.
As a leader, you also need to look out for the well being of those on your team. Are they taking care of themselves? Are they always burning the midnight oil? Are they taking breaks? Do they take their PTO? Are you giving them the training and materials for them to understand boundaries and to create margin in their lives? You may not be able to demand that they do this but you should take responsibility for making them aware of the issues and giving them an opportunity to live it out.
Don’t be a shooting star that shines brightly with potential but then burns out in short order. You got into this leadership thing for the long haul. Start acting like it.
#Beingaleader means you need to be aware of your own and others’ well being. Pursue it today.
