Dear Leaders,
You were a HUMAN BEING before you became a leader.
Your team are HUMAN BEINGS before they are employees.
Behind every deadline is a person who might be anxious.
Behind every "delivered" is someone who might be exhausted.
Behind every profile picture is a real life you know nothing about.
Itโs not always about work.
Sometimes itโs about:
โHow are you, really?โ
โAre you okay?โ
โI see you. Thank you.โ
People donโt burn out because they are weak.
They burn out because they were treated like machines for too long.
Be human first. The work will follow.
Abantu temubateko nyo manyi! ๐ช
This question has lingered at the back of my mind for like the last 2 years running. The only time you succeed is if you call the previous day or if you're very lucky early in the morning.
@mukulaa But don't you think you failed him as his friends, probably him retiring from active politics, running around here and there might have bought him more time, just my thoughts.
