Getting your hands dirty

My children love to get their hands dirty and barefoot in the soil. It’s an earlier trip to the park today as the lovely heatewave means midday is just too hot!

As business leaders, we are encouraged to coach, mentor, give the team space to deliver but how often do we really get our hands dirty? One of my friends who is an incredible proven people manager has had her CV assessed by an agency and told that it related more to doing than to leading. So she likes getting her hands dirty and mucking in with the team… Go for it!

Anyway, it is a short one today. I better go finish off our play before the heat really hits! How odd to play with fallen leaves when it isn’t even Autumn yet!

A career break is something I never thought I would do. Please join me in my transition journey from being a career-woman mum to a full time mum to my two lovely girls. It is helping me to compare business practice with the way we do things in family life.
