Work Balance Solutions

Our 19 year old granddaughter is looking to move up to Hawke’s Bay but it’s on the condition she has a job. She has some work experience but not much as she has had to juggle her netball career (plays for the Pulse development team). She has a lovely soul and wants to learn, so will consider any job preferably in the Napier area. If you know of any school leaver jobs, full or part time, casual or permanent please let me know and I can forward her resume.

In today’s workplace you come across very different styles of Leaders and these styles can determine the culture within the business.

Most of us enjoy a style that makes us feel appreciated, valued and part of the companies success. This style promotes a culture that attracts people wanting to work for the business as well as creating loyalty

The difference between a toxic Leader who and a great one isn’t hard to spot.

Toxic Leaders…

➟ Micromanage every move
➟ Hide information
➟ Blame others when things go wrong
➟ Play favorites
➟ Promote toxic people
➟ Make it all about them

Great Leaders do the opposite.

➟ They build trust
➟ They listen
➟ They coach
➟ They protect the culture
➟ They give credit
➟ They earn loyalty

Because real leadership isn’t about control. It’s about confidence, clarity, and putting the team first.

The best Leaders know:

When your people win, your company wins.
Be the reason your team wants to stay.
Not the reason they walk away.

The great Leaders realise staff have a choice. Have a think about the type of Leader you work for and does it align with what gets the best out of you.
