Everyone is struggling. The biggest gap that I saw between leaders and employees is the financial burden carried on the shoulders of a lower-level employee and the leader not being able to even comprehend or understand what that must be like to deal with those financial struggles, to deal with the emotional, you know, stress that comes along with not being able to afford things in your life that, you know, a lot of people will take for granted when they have money. And so, you know, just Understanding that everyone struggles with something, that you can't understand what people are going through unless you've been in their shoes, and you haven't been in other people's shoes. Even, even if you've been in the same scenario, the situation is probably different in some way. And, uh, and I think as a leader, you have to have a way of being able to relate with individuals, know they're struggling, identify it, and be there for them when they need help and support. And if anything, just, uh, just to make sure that you're trying to not make it harder for them.
