Health, Wellness & Leadership. A recipe for success.
Work environments are very different to what they used to be.
Covid had a significant influence; current economic factors, the impact of the WFH trend, coupled with recent changes in work, health and safety regulations continue to shape the future of work.
On a personal and professional level, leadership styles and techniques to craft better leaders continue to evolve.
With different businesses seeing these changes as either problems or opportunities that can impact the way they interact with their teams, clients or industry peers.
If you are an entrepreneur, start up or small business personal motivation linked to business success is critical. The larger businesses the more complex are the concerns around how to:
- lead the team and show leadership in an era of blended work environments
- energise a team to deliver
- understand and track the mental and physical health of the team
- communicate through a combination of one-on-one and/or collective discussions – and how zoom, teams and other technologies change the way relationships work effectively.
Health and Wellness & Leadership
Leaders need essential skills such as empathy, active listening, authenticity, and mental health literacy, and the ability to apply psychosocial and physical controls. By developing these competencies, leaders can identify potential problems early and provide employees with the support they need*
So how are you managing? What do you need to better leverage physical and mental health and wellness to make your own personal success more achievable?
