Game On: Should You Really Be a Manager? – Joanne Merrick on Conscious Leadership

In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty chats with global leadership expert Joanne Merrick to explore a question every professional faces: Should I become a manager? Joanne, author of Game On: Is Management Your Best Career Play?, shares how leadership is not just a promotion—it's a transformation. They dive into how neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset play a key role in modern management, and why making a conscious decision is crucial before stepping into a managerial role.

  • Emotional intelligence and curiosity are non-negotiable for great leadership.

  • Neuroscience reveals that autonomy and psychological safety are key to performance.
