Health is in all our minds these days - and also a leadership task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came across this topic in the recently published study Healthy Leadership in Turbulent Times<\/a> concluding that the positive relationship between health-oriented leadership and employee health is even stronger during crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what can leaders do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Point #1: Become aware!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can make an impact on the health of your employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are actually four ways: 1) directly through your behavior, 2) indirectly through work design, 3) as a role model for others, and 4) through cross-over effects of your own health state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Point #2: Pay attention!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Watch out for warning signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay in a close connection with your employees - even more so during crises. Always pay attention to social withdrawal, complaints or increasing amounts of mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Point #3: Discuss health!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Communicating will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some options: Make health a topic in your team; optimize job design ongoing; launch an occupational health program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Point #4: Get yourself into flow!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Employees will feel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flow defines the sweet spot between being overwhelmed and bored. Difficult to achieve in a crisis? Not necessarily, as you can train this state physically and mentally anytime by following the traits of curiosity, persistence, focus on intrinsic motivation, and reducing the ego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Point #5: Exercise in fresh air!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Connect with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go on a walk during your next one-on-one. Ride to work on a bike. Develop a running routine. Follow Haruki Murakami<\/a> who often speaks of the flow he achieves by not only training his physical muscles every day while running, but also his mental muscles while writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you keep health up in your teams with these points in mind.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All the best for your leadership journey!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
