Boundaries: The need to always be available for your team

I used to think that, as a leader, I always had to be available for my team.
👉 I didn’t want to come across as being unapproachable.
👉 I wanted them to know I was there to support them with anything and everything.
👉 I wanted us, as a team, to perform well.
I started to notice that;
I was so overwhelmed with all the work I had to do 😕
& constantly feeling like I had to be switched on 😩
I realised that being available for my team
ALL THE TIME just wasn’t working.
I decided to start instead to say,
“I can’t speak to you right now,
let’s book in 15 minutes tomorrow to look at this,
when are you available?”
💡 I became more efficient in the time I had.
💡 My team started to find other ways to solve their problems.
💡 I started to become more effective at managing my work load.
Are you someone who’s always available for your team?
What would it be like if you put something in place to manage this better?
