Today is a public holiday in Madrid and it feels rather strange as our sales team, the vast majority who do not live in Madrid, and are therefore working as usual, are in the middle of their sales campaign.
In fact, we are just at the time of the year when schools start deciding which course materials to adopt.
Not surprisingly, I am not taking a complete break. Rather, I am using the time, sitting in my garden , to think of each individual I work with: how each person is unique and comes with strengths, needs, weaknesses, fears, a wide range of internal and external relationships, education and dreams.
As managers, unfortunately, we have the power to ignore the individual. On the other hand, we can also attempt to understand each person, and I do not simply mean, the work colleague, but the whole person, the real person behind the role they play at work.
Worth the investment? I am convinced of it... Try it, even if it takes a year. You'll be on your way to creating an invincible team.
