The reason I have always said privilege and responsibility to lead goes back for me to my time in the military, right? But every single person we lead and manage or who works for us in our small business is the most important person in someone else's life. Everyone we lead is someone's mum, dad, husband, wife, partner, son, daughter. If none of those apply, everyone's got a best friend. So everyone we lead is the most important person in someone else's life. And therefore what we do as leaders, managers, business owners, business administrators, it doesn't just affect the people that work for us 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, or whatever the working hours are. It has an impact on what they're like when they go home, and then that has a knock-on effect to their family, right?
