Good bosses

‘How would I show up if I was the world's best boss?’ That was on my mind, as a result of  completing the altMBA again.

I've reviewed the program before, highlighting its ability to open your eyes to all the possibilities out there, while equipping you with the tools to grab those.

This is what I would prioritise for my team, if I was given the title of the ‘world's best boss’:

• Health - make sure each member of my team prioritizes their physical and mental health and overall wellbeing. No need to explain why, I’m sure.
• Rest - rest is an important part of the creative process, so if I want my team to perform well, I will insist they rest well too.
• Celebrate the milestones - I personally am terrible at celebrating. So what better way to learn how to do that but in the company of some good people that fought to win side by side.
• Leap (more than once) - the first time you leap into the unknown is both scary and exhilarating. Doing it often is the way to strengthen that muscle.
• Keep on learning - we never know enough and falling in love with the quest to understanding more is important for any team and team member.
• Cherish being a beginner - this directly ties to learning and leaping - these processes would make you a beginner over and over again - I'd want my team to embrace it.

But it is not only what I would do to make sure my team felt good and performed strongly. Showing up entails modeling the behaviour too, so I would start with myself. And what better time than the present?

Stay inspired. Keep inspiring.
