You're facing a challenging client situation. How can you prioritize your team's well-being?

1. Assess Impact

Assessment is a skill known to all but used by few

  • If you are able to use your skill of assessment and can evaluate the situation's impact on your team then only you can take actions for your teams well-being.
  • Look at every aspect of the situation and assess every possible corner of the challenge and ensure to your team that their well-being is your top priority and discuss potential solutions with them.
  • Try to take this discussion as a open dialogue rather than a regular meeting and listen to your team members ideas and their feedback on your solutions.

2. Set Boundaries

Walls are present not to divide but to protect

  • Boundaries are important in every relationship even a relationship with a client, boundaries help both the parties to know more about each other rather than blocking their view because a boundary tell more about you than your open hands,
  • for example you set a boundary to not take very close deadlines to protect your team from overloading and stress tells that you believe in quality rather then quantity, it also shapes your character and setting boundaries is a strong trade of a leader.
