What do our listeners do if they work for a boss who has very low empathy? This conversation would probably seem a little foreign to them or they would dismiss it. The answer is what can I do within myself? Or do I need to lead, grow, or go? Those are the two variables or categories of variables really that we're working with. But many times, see people struggling way beyond what is any reasonable capacity trying to accommodate.
If you read the headlines, you know our mental health is precious. But you also know it’s in jeopardy.
As business leaders, what can we do? Plenty.
Today on the podcast, we welcome Dr. Lee Norton, a clinical social worker and trauma expert. She helps us understand the role mental health plays at work. What is trauma and how does it show up in our employees? What do you do if you work for someone who lacks empathy? How can you protect your own mental health and look out for the people around you, too?
It’s a timely conversation with loads of insight for business leaders who want to create a safe and nurturing work environment.
