As I end this month's theme of "Taking Personal Inventory of Your Successes" let this be your time to shine.
As a manager, you have a multitude of roles to play on a daily basis. You must lead your "followers", motivate, encourage and listen to them; you must delegate responsibilities to let your people grow and become empowered.
As you climb the ladder, with each rung on the ladder comes added responsibility and stress; therefore, you must manage each "rung" as well as possible and keep in touch with yourself and your people.
Do not fall apart. Women are needed in management roles; we have been "groomed" for this; we are wonderful at balancing roles and have inherent traits which make us naturals at management.
However, equally as important to taking care of your people is for you to take care of yourself. Nurture yourself. Without stress outlets, fun and balance, you will not have the energy to manage your employees.
Take your job seriously, but keep your sense of humor, as this may be one of the most important gifts which you possess.
Get ready to experience a wonderful journey to success that will surpass anything you can imagine.
My best to all of you,
