We are asking our staff to be person centered, yet we are not supporting them in the same way. How we connect to our staff and how we lead is the difference between command and control and creativity and inspiration. When we stifle our staff they loose the ability to connect in a human, creative and understanding way. The people we support rely on us to help them “live” out the rest of their lives, instead of processing them like we process a daily check list. We all write a chapter in the lives we support, how are we showing up and are we being responsible to the impact we have?
