Structural Softeners: Building the Pillow Culture
Leaders often serve as the emotional holding tank for teams and organizations. While this reflects trust, it’s unsustainable. If you’re always the one everyone turns to during emotional turbulence, you risk burnout, blurred boundaries, and weakened team self-reliance. This advanced strategy guides you in building a team or organizational culture where emotional expression is normalized, emotional labor is shared, and resilience is systemically supported. You’ll implement rituals, tools, and practices that foster “pillow presence” across the team—not just in one person.
