Create boundaries

Boundaries help define what is acceptable behavior and workload. They prevent burnout, encourage mutual respect, and ensure you and your team have time for strategic thinking and personal well-being.

Here's how to set boundaries for yourself and your team:

• Communicate clearly: Let your team know your availability and response times for non-urgent matters. Be clear about what constitutes an emergency.
• Lead by example: Demonstrate healthy work-life balance practices. Avoid sending emails late at night or during weekends.
• Enforce respectfully: If boundaries are crossed, address it promptly and constructively to reinforce their importance.
• Encourage others: Support your team in setting their own boundaries. This promotes a culture of respect and understanding across the board.
