Middle of the Week

It’s Wednesday and the weather is wonderful today. We haven’t run out to the park whilst it is cool before midday; enjoying a play dough morning.

We did find some missing small lego pieces in the green play dough… a time reminiscent of lockdown at home activities that meant our living room floor wasn’t visible underneath all the toys.

I realised today that we spend more time doing physical activities rather than more thoughtful arts and crafts. Our balance is quite heavily that way due to my eldest daughter’s interests. My younger one is more at home covered in paint or using her imagination but of course is hapoy to go to the park like any other child is.

When you build your team consciously as a leader, it’s important to value all styles and give each one the right time and place to succeed.

It is the summer so taking advantage of the outdoors only makes sense. It just shouldn’t be 100% of the time spent doing interesting things; having a better balance that is openly discussed with your team allows more efficiency and inclusivity in your work output.
