Healthy leadership addresses human needs—it’s personal.
Healthy leadership is not about the leader, but it starts with the leader. It’s about the people you serve. As a leader, when you help others grow, you grow — and growing people fuel growing, healthy organizations.
The three healthy leadership principles (mindset) are:
- Love: Do what is in the best interest of others.
- Positivity: Manage negative emotions and increase positive ones.
- Growth: Seek new insights, knowledge, and improvements.
The three healthy leadership practices (skillset) are:
- Clarify: Crystalize a desired future and motivation to get there.
- Connect: Build ties between work and human needs.
- Coach: Unlock the potential in others.
This actionable guide will help you and your organization apply these principles and practices so everyone can thrive!
