When you take care of wellbeing, you increase your efficiency, better manage problems and change and produce higher-quality, more innovative results. Great for you, but also great for your employer. Leaders who manage their own wellbeing tend to be leaders who develop resiliency in their staff—creating a cascade of productivity and creativity. These leaders support employees who have greater longevity, increased performance, greater output capacity and fewer unplanned days off (sick days). Cultivating a workplace that fosters such an environment isn’t always easy.
