How do you contribute to the team culture and build a healthy ecosystem?

Research shows that when senior leaders set and model high level interpersonal functioning, where values like respect, trust, kindness and compassion dominate, the tone is set for the whole organisation.

Research highlights that there are many negative factors that create risks to the health and wellbeing of an organisation or team. These include a poor interpersonal environment, poor leadership practices and poor organisational practices.

There is a critical link between how we lead ourselves, how we perform at work and our capacity to contribute to a thriving, healthy workplace.

The emerging advances in neuroscience have given us invaluable new insights into how our brain evolves over time.
