During this episode we talk with Carin Isabel-Knoop author of her latest book entitled, Compassionate Management of Mental Health in the Modern Workplace. This episode will expound on some critical areas from her book on how to best manage and lead a workforce by promoting better mental health and emotional wellbeing practices at the workplace. This episode will identify critical “micro-signals” of mental instability within your employee base while outlining best practices on how to follow up with individual employees. How to identify early and often, while putting a practice in place that’s professional, empathetic, and legally viable. Finally, this show will outline best practices in understanding our own deficiencies as leaders, a critical first step in the process of identifying and addressing mental issues at work, and offer ways to grow.

Here’s something they won’t teach you in Business school: the single biggest decision you make in your job – bigger than all the rest–is who you name manager, When you name the wrong person manager nothing fixes that bad decision. Not compensation, not benefits – nothing.” - Gallup’s CEO Jim Clifton
