A common sense guide to becoming a better leader and achieving a
healthy work/life balance in order to live your best life. The number
one complaint from many companies is "Our leaders don't know how to
lead!" Why would they? Most people are promoted because they did one
thing really well or outlasted their "addicted to average"
co-workers/teammates, not because they knew how to lead. Andre Young's
favorite example is "You sold a million dollars worth of
product . . . You are now the Sales Manager." They haven't proved
they can manage or lead anyone; they've only proven they can sell a
million dollars worth of product . . . their way. Work/Life Harmony
is more important now than it's ever been. The notion of leaving home
at the door before entering work and leaving work at the door when
entering home is obsolete. The fact that cell phones are always
accessible means significant others, relationships, and outside life
now enter work with every employee . . . ALL DAY. So, when things
are bad intimately, parentally, and socially, it shows up at work with
employees trying to do their job in between responding to ten pages of
"Hate Texts." In contrast, when that same employee returns home, their
phone may continue to ring with work emails, work texts, etc. If they
respond, they've effectively communicated it's okay to invade their
time. If they don't, it doesn't erase the anxiety of not responding or
knowing a pile of work is building up. There may not be a true balance
between both realms, but 7 Ways to Lead helps leaders find and create
harmony between the two.
