The Leadership Game Has Changed
“We have the power to make workplaces engines for mental health and well-being. Doing so will require organizations to rethink how they protect workers from harm, foster a sense of connection among workers, show them that they matter, make space for their lives outside work, and support their long-term professional growth”
- U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy
