Healthy leadership

The transformation of the working world is accompanied by increased demands for temporal, spatial, and content flexibility, as well as the assumption of responsibility and adaptability. In this context, the mental health of employees is gaining importance as one of the central resources of organizations. Leaders play a key role in this: Through their behavior, decisions, and leadership style, they influence the well-being and health of their team members, shape working conditions, and define the corporate culture.
