Raise Your Game: The Introverts At Work

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.

As we move into an age where freedom and flexibility become a necessity at work, the idea of micromanaging has slowly become synonymous with rigidity and a distinct lack of creativity. For some, it is even regarded as a dirty word. Joseph Tan from Leaderonomics Good Monday explores this area and shares his thoughts on micromanaging.

In this episode of The Leaderonomics Show, Charles shares his insight on how organisations can benefit from a little bit of lightheartedness in the workplace to encourage creativity and innovation.
