UpFront: Leadership Reminders - Creating a Circle of Safety for Your Team Amidst Workforce Challenge
by Hannet Tibagwa Ambord, PharmD, MS, MBA
"Family members take care of each other, from birth to old age and at every stage in between. We often create “circles of safety” for our family members (whether that’s parents, children, spouses, or siblings) and stand up for them even when they’re not in the room. As Charles Duhigg explains in Smarter Faster Better, his book about productivity, the concept of family members caring for one another extends beyond family dynamics and applies to the relationships between leaders and employees. When employees enter our organizations, they entrust us with their well-being, which makes them invaluable assets. As leaders, we must be willing to advocate for our employees, even when they are not present."
