In the journey of emerging leaders to get ahead, the quest for success often takes precedence, with happiness playing second fiddle. Yet, the true essence of leadership lies in the harmony of achieving professional goals while nurturing personal joy. This balance is not just an “I’d like to have” but essential for those leaning into what's next. Winning at work doesn't have to mean sacrificing happiness. In fact, integrating the two can lead to more sustainable, fulfilling success in your current role and future leadership roles too.
