How can a leader encourage self-care in their team?

Great question @Hope !

Leaders are called leaders for a reason hehe, I think a strong trait in leaders is * Initiative * , to lead the way and show how things can be done!

I feel some ways a leader can encourage self care in their team is by doing regular check ins with the team , get to know how everyone is doing , are they feeling satisfied with their work, what could be improved , what can be better for them etc ; specifically for 7 cups teams -: a team specific self care thread ( in the sub community itself or the sub communities centre ) can be a great place to talk about self care and encourage each other to take a break too whenever needed ! Leaders also need to assured that they can take breaks also, and indulge in self care too when required or needed or want to ~ and no , taking breaks or delaying upon some events / PMs DOES NOT mean being a bad or incompetent leader ( they are lots of options available, one such being ~ delegation of duties etc , communication amongst the team ) , you are all very much still a fabulous leader with the breaks included , and might I add , even better , because it shows that you do what you suggest others to do ~ prioritize themselves! 🥰
