11 min - Episode 8: Setting Boundaries in a Collaborative World
In this episode, we’re discussing something that affects how we work, lead, and even how we feel at the end of the day: boundaries.
In land use planning, collaboration is essential between community members, engineers, elected officials, and developers. But when collaboration becomes overextension, we lose clarity, focus, and our ability to sustain good work.
So this episode is about setting boundaries without guilt, because clear boundaries don’t shut people out. They ensure you stay engaged in your work and empowered in your role.
