Most executives use 'lead by example' selectively.
We deploy it for all things related to discipline, output, and work ethic, and ignore it for anything related to self-care, mental health, or vulnerability.
The expectations of leaders have never been higher. We expect them to show more emotional intelligence than their predecessors and empathy is one of the most important traits a leader can possess. But we also expect them to make strategic decisions that deliver ROI while balancing environmental, social, and governance concerns. Not to mention steering the ship against a backdrop of unprecedented disruption and economic uncertainty, whilst also being the visionary that leads the business.
This perfect storm of pressure has caused many business leaders to develop a kind of resilience that sets them on a fixed course toward unhappiness, isolation and burnout.
Key takeaways
What is toxic resilience?
The many faces of ‘the leader’
The pillars of self-leadership
How to implement this in your own work and life and how to help your leaders take small actions towards change
