"This is not a Post... It is a billboard message to be put outside of all the managers and clients cabin & offices"

Is what creative writer Shashank Pitkar wrote in response to the following words that I posted on LinkedIn six days ago:

===

Expecting employees to perform at their peak every single day? Relax.

Here’s the reality. You can’t replicate a high-performance day like a carbon copy. Performance comes in waves.

Pushing for peak performance daily? That’s the fast track to burnout. Cut your team some slack.

No, not the Slack app. (We don’t need more pings.) I mean real slack—understanding and respect for their natural ups and downs.

Accept that performance has seasons. Support your team through the highs and lows. The worst thing you can do is show doubt or mistrust. That only leads to lower performance and higher drop-out rates.

Stay real, stay supportive.

Performance isn’t a straight line.

Talk soon,

To which I reacted with flabbergasm. What a surprisingly positive reaction to a thing that needed to be said because it has been in the air anyway.

Shashank then concluded by saying...

I'll be honest! I did resonate with everything you've mentioned... Wish You would have been my manager 🤝

You can probably imagine that this made my day.
