Prioritize the wellbeing and mental health of your team members from "summary" of Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by Ed Catmull,Amy Wallace
The most important thing when leading a team is to remember that the people you work with are not just cogs in a machine, but individuals with their own needs and emotions. It is crucial to prioritize their wellbeing and mental health, as this will not only benefit them personally but also contribute to the overall success and creativity of the team.
When team members feel supported and cared for, they are more likely to be motivated, engaged, and productive. Creating a safe and positive work environment where people feel valued and respected is essential for fostering creativity and innovation.
As a leader, it is your responsibility to ensure that your team members are not only physically safe but also mentally healthy. This means being aware of signs of stress, burnout, or other mental health issues and providing support and resources when needed.
Encouraging open communication and creating a culture of transparency and trust can help team members feel comfortable sharing their feelings and concerns. By being empathetic and understanding, you can build strong relationships with your team and create a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
Remember that everyone has good days and bad days, and it is important to be patient and compassionate with your team members during challenging times. By showing that you care about their wellbeing, you can create a positive and supportive work environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.
