How's Your Work-Life Balance?

With a fabulous Canada Day come and gone, the real start of summer is finally here. And, the short Saskatchewan season of Non-Winter poses a simple question that tests work life balance - "How much time are you spending with your family this summer? At the beach? On the lake? In the back yard?"

If the answer is "not enough," then you might need to rethink your approach to management.

Do you need to create sustainable systems that can function without your daily attention? Do you need to engage and trust your employees? Do you need to invite initiative and allow your employees to truly take on responsibility, which is what they want anyway?

If your family is truly precious to you, this is really the time to show it - with focused together time, relaxed recreation, and without constant interruptions from your work. Turn off your phone, don't answer emails, and really spend time with your family.

Enjoy the summer. See you in September.
