Balance is a topic that I am sure you have heard a TON in your life. Work life balance, balanced mind, balanced workload…the word is very much a buzz word these days. Where it isn’t discussed a bunch is in Leadership. As a leader your job is never done. While an individual contributor might have a specific deliverable and due date…a leader’s success is driven by their teams overall ability to deliver, specific deliverables for their leaders and their peoples career development.
That means the idea of balance becomes a very important one…you have to know what the top priority is and action on that first and foremost. Then from there, it’s getting the next priorities done. All of this while making sure you are understanding your own emotions, awareness and stress level. Do you need to take some time off? Do you need to block some time in your calendar? Never. Ever. Leave personal time unused. Use it, consistently! If your job is never done, taking the time as needed on your path, will keep you balanced and avoid burnout.
