Times have changed, and organizational leadership must deal with new challenges of mental health, employee wellbeing (as well as their own), while acknowledging that executive training to prepare executives to lead during such difficult times, is severely lacking. I talk with noted psychologist Gavin Freeman in a 2 part episode. In the part 1 we talk about mental health and wellbeing, and in part 2 we touch on the lack of preparation and training for corporate leaders during times of crisis. PART 1: Wellbeing and Mental Health a. Working at home challenges for organizations, b. Us vs Them mentality, c. Employee mental health, d. How mental health and wellbeing are linked, e. Introverts and extroverts, f. Technology implications, g. Different ways to engage people, and h. Helping colleagues and friends in need). PART 2: The Lack of Training of the C-Suite a. Executives and business as usual, b. Strategic thinking over crisis management thinking, c. Crisis defined, d. Measuring success, e. Continued exercising, f. Motivations, g. Changing how we train people, h. Procedural & purposeful training, and i. Deliberate & direct training. Gavin gives allot of great insights everyone - every leader - needs to be aware of with regards to employee health and wellbeing. He also provides so ideas on how we can change and improve the methods of training for executives, to help them respond better to crises, and what we need to change to accomplish that. Don't miss Gavin's insights. Enjoy!
