The Modern People Leader: Forward-Thinking HR

NOTE

Prioritize Personal Growth in Leadership

In leadership roles, it's crucial for executives to prioritize their personal growth and mental well-being. An effective leader recognizes the importance of having a therapist and a coach, as these resources help in managing stress and improving decision-making. When seeking a collaborative and supportive working relationship, leaders should understand that their direct reports, such as a Chief People Officer (CPO), do not have the bandwidth to substitute as personal coaches or therapists. This highlights the necessity for leaders to invest in their own development and seek appropriate guidance to enhance their effectiveness.
