Does people management stress you out?
I recently worked with a business owner who was facing challenges that I see all the time with my clients. Her story is a powerful reminder of how the right support can transform not just a business, but also the life of the person running it.
The Challenge
My client, an experienced entrepreneur leading a team of 15, was struggling with the people management side of her business. In her own words, she found it:
- Stressful
- Overwhelming
- Like constantly watching over her shoulder for something to go wrong
The Turning Point
What began as assistance with a specific disciplinary situation evolved into a deeper conversation about her struggles and led to a long-term collaboration.
Together, we:
1. Implemented a clear team structure
2. Established transparent expectations
3. Developed a positive, proactive approach to people management
4. Created a system where I could step in to provide targeted support
The Results
The transformation has been remarkable:
- A happier, more engaged team
- Improved structure and clarity
- Significantly reduced stress for the business owner
- Renewed enjoyment in running the business
This experience reinforces my belief that with the right support and strategies, the 'people side' of business doesn't have to be a source of stress. It can become a key driver of success and satisfaction.
