Raise Your Game: Guiding to Grow

In today’s dynamic and demanding work environments, leaders are increasingly called upon to go beyond managing performance; they must lead with humanity. Mental health is no longer a “nice-to-have” HR initiative. It is a strategic leadership imperative that directly affects organisational outcomes such as productivity, innovation, retention, and resilience. For C-Suite executives, mid-level managers, entrepreneurs, and even students preparing for leadership, recognising the impact of mental well-being on business performance is vital. When mental health is sidelined, burnout rises, trust erodes, and decision-making suffers. When prioritised, leaders build organisations that are not only high-performing but also human-centred and sustainable.

Leaders behind great organisations are people who have a great appetite to constantly want to learn and grow. We see that in the leadership cases behind Toyota and General Electric. Roshan Thiran of Leaderonomics exalts the act of learning and talks about the relationship of learning and growth in effective leadership.
