The Fight Against Overwork
Employee wellness has recently been deprioritized in many organizations, replaced by a heightened focus on profit and efficiency. While research shows that wellness improves performance, many organizations opt to focus solely on productivity, leaving wellness in the hands of the employees. However, many individual leaders understand the importance of taking care of their people and want to support employee wellness.
The Fight Against Overwork
Cultures of overwork are harmful and hard to overcome. Making a change to a culture requires others to champion what you are doing. Great leaders know they can't do it all alone.

Many leaders erroneously assume that their employees should structure work in the same way they do if they want to be successful. The truth is that employees’ ideal work styles and preferences differ. In our research, we find that great leaders recognize these differences and use them to maximize their team’s results. Weaker leaders are more stubborn, coaxing followers to adopt their ways of working without considering whether that’s actually what’s best.
