Leading wellbeing doesn’t need to feel like another thing to do. Integrating employee wellbeing into leadership is simply good leadership. The underlying skills required to lead wellbeing already appear in the tool kit of good leaders.
Leaders care about employee wellbeing. It's now time to put it into action!
Living on purpose
Social purpose, leadership and change
I have spent most of the time in the last 25 years of my working life within the realms of social enterprise and non-profit sectors. I’ll often say that I am surrounded by extraordinary people doing extraordinary things and always within the lens of extraordinary circumstances. The sum of all these parts allows for an alignment of social purpose and with it the joy of having impact.
Leading wellbeing through COVID-19
We understand that workplaces, leaders and employees are under a great deal of stress and feeling very uncertain about what immediate steps to take as we face COVID-19 and the associated health, employment, and economical adjustments.
People are scared for their immediate health and safety. People are anxious about the future. People are confused about what choices to make and what actions to take. Leaders are people, too.
This post is not to strike fear or amplify drama. It is to help leaders choose where to focus attention and effort. Leaders have the opportunity to navigate current complexities and come out the other side having exercised strong leadership, and having strengthened organisational resilience.
