Make sure you are consistently assessing workload to ensure that employees are given adequate time to accomplish expected tasks. Regular team meetings provide the perfect opportunity to readdress stress-management and self-care practices, evaluate communication between departments, and assess staff satisfaction on a regular basis.
Scapegoating is an unfair practice that only happens in dysfunctional companies, so if you see it taking place, that’s a red flag that things aren’t running smoothly.
Perfectionistic tendencies encourage you to sacrifice your own wants and needs for that of the company, and while you may see short-term gains, this type of thinking will ultimately lead to burnout.
Choose the values that feel deeply meaningful to you and the vision you have for your business. Holding these in mind and finding workers who resonate with those same values will increase the likelihood of long-term success -- if an employee just isn’t vibing with the company’s philosophy, that’s a red flag that they aren’t a true fit!
