Self Care

What do you do for self-care? How do you maintain work-life balance?

I was asking a panel of candidates.

The answers varied. Exercise. Yard work. One talked about her horses.

But what I was really listening for was simple: do you know how to handle stress?

Because leaders who can't take care of themselves struggle to take care of their teams.

Leaders who prioritize their well-being make better decisions. They show up with more patience and emotional intelligence.

Your team experiences the version of you that walks in every day.

Garfield, Wybie, and Bobby remind me of something we often forget. Rest, play, and intentional exercise are part of sustained performance.

What's one self-care habit that makes you a better leader?
