ORGANIZATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH

“Once organizational health is properly understood and placed into the right context,
it will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement
and competitive advantage. Really.”

Patrick Lencioni

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE?

Organizations are so complex. So many factors can influence culture!

Factors like the demographics of the organization, the leadership team, policies and procedures, employee engagement, and many more can have a profound impact on the organization’s culture.

As a leader in your organization, you struggle with finding ways to improve the culture and solve complex human problems. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything that is needed to have that great culture you are looking for. Intuitively, you know that one of the keys to a great culture is investing in the people!

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES

Jeff had been working for his organization for five years, but he had never seen organizational change like he was encountering now. His job duties had changed dramatically! And he had a new manger that he found hard to get to know because of a very different leadership style than his prior manager. He really missed his past manager!

Jeff was having a tough time completing his work with additional duties added to his job description. To make matters worse, he was also struggling with a new co-worker that he felt wasn’t doing their fair share of the work.

Work was a challenge, but Jeff’s personal life wasn’t doing that well either. His relationship with his wife of 10 years was now ending, as he was going through a painful divorce. He really didn’t feel like he could talk to anyone about his work problems because he thought it would make him look weak, especially to his new manager. Jeff felt depressed and anxious, and he had nowhere to turn for help!

LEADERS ARE PEOPLE, TOO!

Sally was new to her roll as a leader. She became a leader through seniority, and her job expertise and knowledge, but felt inadequate in her leadership skills.

Sally quickly discovered that the responsibilities of leadership were causing her to feel strange. Many mornings she could feel her heart racing while driving to work. She wondered if what she was experiencing was anxiety. One morning she almost couldn’t make herself get out of the car!

Sally was really worried about her future. She didn’t understand what was happening. She was afraid to expose her struggles to anyone at work because it was so important to prove to everyone that she could succeed as a leader. Sadly, a year later Sally was looking for another job and felt like a failure.

If Sally had reached out for help, might this may have been prevented? Absolutely!
