Mike and Melon kick off an episode building on the June Mental Health Awareness Month theme. Before we get to that topic, you’ll get a leadership masterclass from our own SF Operator, Mike. You’ll hear how he has been growing and developing his team as they work through their training program. The main points covered are:

·      Innovation- how to foster it in complex situations

·      Problem solving- using experience and training to see what needs doing

·      Freedom to manoeuvre- freedom to fail and learn

·      Commander’s intent- clear and simple

·      Culture- the bedrock for group behaviours

·      Integrity- ownership of failures

The conversation then moves on to the topic of how family, friends and the community can support individuals dealing with depression and mental health issues.

At times all of us will face challenges and headwinds. When we are the ones finding it hard, our friends, family and community all can provide the key support we need. Conversely, all of us will also fall into those roles when people around us have their hard times. Among other aspects, the importance of having a safety net, or building a net is covered, along with an example of the recreation of purpose as demonstrated by veterans Mike encountered. 

Let us know how you have dealt with hard times yourself, how you have assisted others, or how you have seen it done effectively.
