Raise Your Game: Relationship-Oriented vs Task-Oriented At The Workplace

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.

Do we have what it takes to find those vital connections? Ong Ewe Hock, a faculty trainer with Leaderonomics, joins us to discuss how we can better define our own dots.
