Companies and organisations that invest in leadership development perform better than those that don’t, according to the latest research from the Centre for Creative Leadership. "Complex times like these, defined by constant uncertainty and great opportunity, magnify this truth even more".

Leadership development refers to activities that improve the skills, abilities and confidence of leaders. Programmes vary massively in complexity, cost and style of teaching. Coaching and mentoring are two forms of development often used to guide and develop leaders.

In our increasingly VUCA world, leaders globally have reported several key predictors of burnout including "unsustainable workloads, the absence of support, and feeling a lack of control over life and work".

Mental health, defined by the World Health Organization as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.

How this shows up in the work environment, varies depending on many factors including organisational culture, individual personality, the relationship between Manager and employee, history of raising awareness, the feeling of safety at work amongst others.

Positive mental health & wellbeing is a critical driver of high performance. Many organisations have embedded practices of partnering with external health providers, to offer services to assist their employees in times of need. However, the concept of Mental Health is still taboo and heavily stigmatised. Companies are therefore encouraged to proactively build positive mental health support mechanisms in to their people strategy, rather than simply offering remedies to assist individuals in times of need.

Mental health problems at work cost UK economy £34.9bn in 2017, says Centre for Mental Health. This figure is linked to the reduced productivity related to employee’s on sick/medical leave and may not include the impact on others such as additional stress on other team members to pick-up extra work, client service that is negatively disrupted, and Managers increased pressure to deliver team/business/function results with less resources.

Unlocked Potential enables leaders with specific wellbeing coaching engagements, to develop techniques and strategies for self-care and effective leadership of teams through turbulent times.
