Most people measure their value to the business by the time they devote to it. Do you?<\/p>\n
Lots of people don\u2019t have a life outside their work.<\/p>\n
Be honest with yourself; is either of these you?<\/p>\n
Break a habit. Set an example. Go home early. Regularly.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re addicted to work, look at the why first. No addiction is healthy. Then make a long-term commitment to change; remember that habits don\u2019t break overnight. As George Bernard Shaw observed, entrenched habits have to be \u2018coached downstairs gradually, and shut outside\u2019.<\/p>\n
The unfair add-on of a boss who spends 60 hours per week at the office is that most of their staff feel that\u2019s how they have to show their<\/em> value. So you mightn\u2019t care enough about your home life but your example is taking away from the value of their home lives.<\/p>\n Talk about working with passion, working with diligence, not working \u2018hard\u2019. Hard sounds hard and should not be encouraged as a currency, swapped over children\u2019s footie matches or time at the gym.<\/p>\n Give your staff a big surprise. Start talking about their value being their output not their hours per week. Start going home early occasionally, even if \u2018early\u2019 means before 6.00pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most people measure their value to the business by the time they devote to it.
