Understanding that we all have mental health and mental illness is separate. And now I think the pandemic taught that in ceos that specifically- and b ceos are not the source of the energy- they can be charismatic, but you don't need to be an extrovert to be a leader.
What does it take to create a truly happy workplace? In this episode of 'The Waitlist', Alex Manly sits down with Matt Phelan, Co-Founder of The Happiness Index and author of 'Freedom to Be Happy: The Business Case for Happiness'. Together, they explore what it means to be a great boss and how to make mental wellbeing a priority in the workplace.
If you're a CEO or simply interested in fostering a positive work environment, this conversation is packed with valuable insights. Matt shares his journey and expertise on why mental health and mental illness should be viewed as distinct concepts. He reflects on the pandemic's lessons, particularly how leaders don't need to be extroverts to inspire their teams.
The episode dives into the crucial role of psychological safety, explaining how creating a safe space for employees to express their thoughts and feelings can transform a workplace. One key takeaway is the importance of having a clear vision and purpose for your organization. Matt and Alex discuss how this clarity can motivate employees and enhance overall job satisfaction.
They also touch on the mind-body connection, referencing influential books like 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk and 'Work with Source' by Tom Nixon, which offer further insights into holistic wellbeing. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone looking to improve their work culture. Whether you're a seasoned CEO or just starting out in leadership, you'll find actionable tips to help prioritize mental wellbeing and create a happier, more productive work environment.
