Maintain a healthy work life balance is key to the well being of your children. But have you realized the biggest driver of work life balance?
If you are led by a visionary leader and you are lucky to be part of a trusting team you feel safe at work. This in turn leads to a healthy work life balance.
As Simon Sinek says:
“Work-life balance has nothing to do with the hours we work or the stress we suffer. It has to do with where we feel safe. If we feel safe at home, but we don’t feel safe at work, then we will suffer what we perceive to be a work-life imbalance.”
Thus it is key to be surrounded by members of a trusting team to lead a fulfilled life.
