A US -based Indian founder has shared a list of workplace principles he follows while leading his team, saying he would never expect employees to compromise their personal lives for work.
Among his principles, Raajha said he would “never ask someone to work through a family emergency” or “make someone feel guilty for being sick”.
In the post, Raajha highlighted that most of his team members have never met him in person. Raajha acknowledged that he is still learning how to lead. Every single day. “Really appreciate this perspective.
He also said he would never “make someone feel small in front of their colleagues” and would not forget that “every person on my team has a life I know nothing about. “They still trusted me with their time, their skills, and in some cases their livelihood, based on a remote working relationship,” he wrote. “I get a lot wrong as a founder and I am still learning how to lead properly after six years of doing this,” he said. However, he said there was one thing he was certain about: “The people who chose to build this with me deserve to be treated like the adults and professionals they are. Leadership is not just about building a team but creating an environment where people feel respected, trusted and valued,” said another.
