If you are always tired, stressed and on the brink of burnout you CANNOT be an effective leader.
You may choose to overlook your self-care needs.
You may even choose to believe that your team won’t notice.
But the fact is your emotional and mental state shows up in a million different ways in your decisions, your reactions and your behaviour.
And as a leader your emotional and mental state is contagious.
People sense it.
They pick it up.
And it spreads around.
And that has a direct impact on the work environment, the team culture and the team morale.
So, while it is easy to dismiss self-care as a luxury it isn’t really one. It’s a good business strategy.
And when you take time to take care of yourself you are also taking better care of your team and your business.
What is the one thing you can do today to take better care of yourself?
