Leadership Boundaries and The Open Door Policy

Lead With Moxie

Kristi and Heather talk about the pros and cons of feeling like you need to be accessible to employees 24/7, and some options for creating productive and healthy boundaries which also help employees grow. Many points are addressed, including the following:

• How often to do 1:1 meetings with your employees
• Should you handle one-off questions and problems as they pop up, or give employees the authority to schedule a meeting with you?
• How many hours a day and how many days per week should you be accessible to employees?
• Open Door Policy versus Office Hours
• How to get employees on board with new boundaries
• What to do about the different ways employees want to communicate with you
