Sharpening Your Tools: Six Reasons Why Mental Fitness Matters in the Workplace
This isn't a just another blog about how to hone your mental acuity so you can boost your workplace productivity. There are plenty of those out there, and I've done one or two myself. No, this article is about the
why, not the how. You may think the why is obvious, but is it? Most people only have a nebulous idea that mental fitness is a good thing—and, of course, they're correct. But it's important to know why it's a good thing in detail, because this makes its value easier to pin down and focus on.
There are always the basic arguments for keeping your mind sharp. It may help you live longer and avoid Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, and often aids your memory. It also keeps you centered and protects you in
several environmental senses, ranging from shielding you from physical harm to expanding your common sense.
The Diversity Difference: Leading By What You Do, NOT By What You Say
Successful organizations attract more money, more clients, and more leaders. If you want to thrive and influence others in today’s global economy, you must acquire a multicultural, multigenerational mindset. Your success and your team’s successes are a reflection of how you embrace and celebrate differences. It is essential to build a comfortable environment for people to be themselves and shine, so you need tools and
resources to change your pace as a leader. Strong leaders motivate and help others to be better and do better. Leaders can make a difference in how they respond when someone is uncomfortable and how they lead by example. Capitalizing on your biases and beliefs is the catalyst for effective and productive change. Embracing teachable moments will ensure you, your team, and your clients are always knowing and growing. Helping others feel relevant is core leadership development competency. Your
leadership legacy will be determined by your willingness to change and be inclusive at any given time and place.
