What happens when the people who are supposed to have all the answers are struggling themselves?
We treat our leaders like they're bulletproof, but the pressure they're under is immense - and it has a ripple effect we rarely talk about. This week, Sal sits down with Organizational Psychologist Melissa Doman to have a refreshingly honest conversation about the mental health of leaders. Drawing from her powerful new book, Cornered Office, Melissa explains how a leader's stress doesn't just impact quarterly reports; it shows up at the dinner table and shapes the entire culture of a team.
This isn't your typical corporate talk. They get into the messy, real-world stuff:
Why the assumption that "struggling = weak performance" is flat-out wrong.
How to actually talk about mental health at work without making it weird or crossing a line.
Melissa's game-changing concept of "mental well-being non-negotiables"
The things you must do to stay sane (and no, it's not always yoga).
The surprising power of vulnerability and how it can make a leader more trustworthy, not less.
If you lead a team, or have ever worked for a leader who seemed to be carrying the weight of the world, this episode will hit home.
