One of life’s great challenges is achieving a level of sustainable work-life balance that works for us as individuals. The trick is to adapt progressively as we move through life and our professional and family commitments change. Adapting successfully keeps us calm and ‘centred’.
This short article from the Center of Creative Leadership titled ‘5 Ways We do the Work/Life Juggle‘ describes five categories or patterns of behaviour: Integrators, Separators, Work Firsters, Family Firsters and Cyclers. You will recognise some of these behaviours in yourself, your family members and work colleagues. They are worth thinking about.
The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) is one of our favourite ‘Sage thinking by wise people‘ organisations. CCL is a world leader in the study and teaching of leadership and personal effectiveness.
