One squiz at the bestsellers list tells us that we have to \u201c<\/span>Dare To Lead<\/span><\/a>\u201d, \u201c<\/span>Start With Why<\/span><\/a>\u201d or even live by the motto that \u201c<\/span>Leaders Eat Last<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one of the most overlooked pieces of leadership advice is this: <\/span>prioritising your own health and well-being is the secret to being a better boss. <\/b>If you want to lead with empathy and show up as your best self, taking care of your well-being needs to be non-negotiable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of National Boss Day (October 16th), we\u2019re calling on leaders in our community to pledge to put their well-being first and embrace the benefits of optimal health and well-being at work. And here\u2019s how. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

Why being a better leader starts with taking care of yourself <\/span><\/h2>\n

As a manager or boss, you set the tone for your entire team. Whether you realise it or not, your employees are going to be influenced by the behaviours you role model.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re firing off emails late at night, skipping lunch most days and regularly working on the weekends, you\u2019re setting the example that poor work-life balance is the norm at your workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it goes further than that: not giving yourself the time and space to clear your mind, move your body and prioritise rest means you\u2019ll be likely running on empty at work, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest stats tell us that a whopping <\/span>53% of Australians are feeling burnt out from work<\/span><\/a> (managers included). If you\u2019re frazzled, drained and exhausted, it\u2019s easy to make poor decisions or not give our team the support they need to work at their best. <\/span><\/p>\n

We know that you\u2019ve got a lot on your plate as a manager and \u201cself-care\u201d can seem like a luxury. But the truth is that putting well-being on your radar doesn\u2019t have to take a lot of time and can have massive benefits on your output, your productivity and your business\u2019 bottom line. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

Three benefits of prioritising your health and well-being as a boss<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your energy levels, mood, and even the way you communicate all have a direct link to how you take care of yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re consistently pulling late nights, chowing down on fast food and running on caffeine rather than sleep, it\u2019s going to be a challenge to lead your team effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are stacks of benefits to making your wellbeing a priority as a leader, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
