Do you try to get to know your direct reports as a person? How do you set your boundaries so that they still respect you as a leader? What are some areas you would never want to discuss or do as their leader? For example, hanging out with your team outside of work.

I like to have a nice healthy balance hanging out maybe every so often

are there any topics that you consider off limits?

Are you saying do we hang out with our direct reports on a personal level? A little confused by your wording. I don’t I don’t cross those lines.

I was just using that as an example of what a manager might consider off limits. At my company though, there are lots of direct report/manager best friends relationships

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
