Do your colleagues know you are there for them in times of personal or professional crisis beyond the standard line “if you need anything, feel free to reach out?"
Crisis. That's a high impact word.
When our colleagues are truly facing a crisis our real values rise to the surface. Shifting our focus to support them and taking action instead of simply offering is something that not only makes a difference for them, it also demonstrates real-time leadership to the rest of the team.
While we can rarely 'solve' our colleague's crisis moments...we can always be considered a valuable and kind people leader...and that's a pretty good position to be in.
Please know that if you ever find yourself in a tight spot, I am available 24/7 for you.
Thanks for being here.
Jay
