Middle Management Movement By Michelle Pascoe

In this episode I chat with Luke Richards, CEO of Culburra Bowling Club about setting boundaries.  Why they are important to him and why he wants to share the difference that it has made to his work life and home life and how it can make a big difference to you.  Why do you need to have work emails on your phone or take calls after you leave?  Start by analysing your daily routine especially at home and think do I need to make a change.  Am I happy taking work home, does it have a positive impact?  Does it lead to poor mental health?  How does it impact on my team and the culture of the organisation?
