Are you the emotional dumping ground for your team?

Do you end up being the emotional dumping ground for all the worries and conflicts of your team?

Want to support them, but it takes all your energy to manage your own challenges?

Resilient teams need resilient leaders. And resilient leaders role model boundaries.

You're a good leader. You care. You want to help them, and you definitely want them to feel safe coming to you. Plus, you know that an 'open door policy' is better for culture.

But then you end up with a constant trail of team members unloading on you. Their conflicts, their workplace issues, sometimes even their home issues.

And you WANT to support them. But it's so exhausting. And the more you do it, the more they need you to do it.

And then who does your actual job? Not to mention, who is there for YOUR unloading?

 

Here's some quick, simple scripts to help set boundaries that protect yourself, and empower your team, in a kind, supportive way.
