Labor Day (Labour Day for our friends up north) was literally created to honor workers, not to glorify working more. … so why are you “checking in”?
You lead an inside sales team. I’m guessing you wished your team a great long holiday weekend, which means you preach recharge. But here you are LinkedIn checking, inbox open, brain buzzing, phone within reach.
Let’s rewind for a second.
Back in 2015, I started waving the “decompress to lead” flag. Not because it was trendy, because stressed-out leaders create stressed-out teams.
Fast forward to 2020 and the pandemic when unplugging became harder than ever. Remember this greatest hits list?
- Did you bother to unplug?
- LOG out and UNPLUG
- Recharge – you’ll be glad you did!
- The Lost Art of Lollygagging
I was throwing lifelines to you.
And now here we are. Another year. Another long weekend. Another chance to model what you know is true. So get offline now!
