Listen for the following takeaways from the interview :
- Everyone should have a check-up from the neck-up but most people have reasons they do not do.
- If you work with one or more people, you must find a way for them to see you as one of them – through rapport.
- The key is to first manage yourself (your physical/mental health), and then you can manage other people.
- Culture that just maintains status quo creates a lazy work force.
- Build a culture of innovation without the risk of negative consequences to keep them motivated and not be crippled by fear.
- It is not hard to build a culture, you just have to learn how to do it.
- Preventative mental health is important…Courage culture will help because it allows your employees to be honest about their issues before they become problems.
- Sharing your problems is not about throwing up all your information at work, that is for your therapist, but you should be comfortable to say when you are struggling mentally.
- Leaders #1 role is to create other leaders – Find your first follower!
