Your moral obligation as a leader
I once got some surprising feedback from an employee’s spouse.
It wasn’t particularly negative or positive. Just surprising.
And in that moment my paradigm as a leader changed.
I found myself regularly thinking, “When my employees come home, what will they tell their families about their day?”
AND
“How can I make sure they tell them they love their job?”
Some of my proudest moments as a “boss” have been when a spouse bragged on the company or told me how happy the work makes them.
