The Emotional Toll of Leadership: Successful self-management

Episode #131 // I run into leaders all the time who struggle with the personal impact that a leadership role has on their lives. It can be emotionally draining, and it can have far reaching impacts through every aspect of their lives.

To be a successful leader in the longer term, and at the most senior levels, you first have to learn how to manage yourself. As they say during the airline safety briefings, “if oxygen is required, fit your own mask first before assisting others”.

Strong leaders are strong people - strong enough to shoulder the duty of care that comes with a leadership career, and equipped to help others develop.

This week, we look at the common types of fallout that many leaders experience, and provide seven practical tips for dealing with the emotional toll of leadership.

We've also created a FREE PDF downloadable summary that wraps this all up in a nice bow for you, which you can download at www.yourceomentor.com/episode131
