Bloody hell there just aren’t enough hours in the day are there ? Do you find that staff members are constantly at the office door asking for stuff! Constantly in and out disturbing you whilst you’re trying to get your essential jobs done! Do you find that ( some ) team members come to the office, to ask the most daft and stupid questions, that they know the answer to? 🤪 Sometimes it feels like they just want an excuse to get out of their rooms and kill time! Thing is, as leaders and manager although paperwork isn’t our most favourite thing to do, sometimes we just need to get it done ! Off our plates and sorted! Writing up reports, safeguarding notes, contacting other agencies and professionals is all part of our leadership role We don’t want to spend hours chained to the desk or leave things hanging over our heads and making us feel stressed and worried about deadline dates or have we documented essential reports accurately. 😰 But when our fellow team members keep popping in and out for silly stuff, it can disrupt our flow and prevent us getting our work done quickly and effectively! So what to do ? It’s important as leaders and managers to lead with HEART courage and confidence, but that doesn’t mean you don’t set boundaries. To give responsibility to our team members and encourage them to seek solutions and answer for THEMSELVES! To SET ourselves time to complete your paperwork and stop procrastinating, to get that job (the ones we’ve been putting off for ages ) DONE ! Let’s set clear guidelines amongst our team and ensure YOU as the leader manager are completing YOUR tasks instead of doing everyone else’s ! Let’s be productive, time smart! Otherwise, guess what? Yes that’s right- we’ll be taking that bloody paperwork home, to complete on an evening or at the weekend!!!! Drop a comment below if this resonates

Let’s be honest: some days in early years are just beautifully, utterly chaotic. Paint spills, sensory foam on the ceiling, three staff members away, and the printer jammed.😂 On those days, the best thing you can do for your culture is to just laugh. When the leader can smile through the chaos, it gives the rest of the team permission not to panic. It’s all part of the wild ride of early childhood. What is the most chaotic, "you had to laugh or you'd cry" moment you’ve experienced in your career so far? Let’s swap stories!
