Compassionate Leadership begins with self-compassion.<\/p>\n

As we have emerged from a pandemic, some experts estimate that 25% of Americans suffer from a mental illness. Other studies show that it is even higher for people in leadership positions.<\/p>\n

One of the most important roles of any leader is promoting a healthy culture in the workplace so that team members are taken care of both on and off the job. It is necessary to strike a balance between work and other personal activities, and as a leader, you are in a prime position to set a positive example as long as you take time to practice self-care.<\/p>\n

In the long run, this type of balance results in an office with greater overall productivity, retention, and morale. Sadly, many teams and companies have strayed away from this, thus fostering a “more is more” work ethic, which grinds down its team members’ mental and physical health and is ultimately unsustainable.<\/p>\n

As a leader, the best way to create this atmosphere is to examine your health and work\/life balance closely. It will not only make your team more effective, it may add years to your life, and I guarantee it will improve your ability to think clearly and lead.<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

Once you take this step, you can have a productive discussion with your team, leading to more health, happiness, and productivity.<\/p>\n

Leader Activity:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Write five things you are doing to ensure you are attending to your physical and mental health.<\/p>\n

2. Write down three things you can do to continue or improve your health practices over the next 30 days.<\/p>\n

3. Put something into your calendar this week that can support this plan. (for example, call my pickleball partner and set up a game. )<\/p>\n

4. How many hours do you work weekly, including checking emails and business social media channels from home?<\/p>\n

5. Is this number optimal? What can you do to get to an optimal amount of hours?<\/p>\n
