Should you work with your spouse?
💑 Should you work with your spouse?
The short answer is, it depends. The long answer is a bit more complicated.
If you don't already know, Moby, the CEO of RedPandas and Sophia, the CFO are married. Both of them are very different, but that's EXACTLY what makes it work 🤔
So, if you plan on working with your partner at work, what are some things you can do to make sure it's successful?
🔹 Define Your Turf: Draw clear lines on roles and responsibilities based on each other's strengths and passions. Remember, your roles at home and at work don't need to mirror each other!
🔹 Keep the Lines Open: Honesty, transparency, and respect are your communication compass. Disagree with dignity and remember to balance business talk with personal chatter to keep the love alive
🔹 Separate Yet Together: Keep business and personal life distinct. Set aside specific times for work-related discussions and create physical workspaces if you can. Remember, it's essential to switch off business mode during personal times
🔹 Respect each other as professionals: Treat your spouse like any other coworker. Even if she's your CFO, handle their requests just like any other business partner
Working together has made Moby and Sophia better business partners and strengthened their marriage 💪 What's your experience with working with your partners? Comment below!
