5 Mental Mistakes That Kill Leaders’ & Managers’ Productivity
(and How to Avoid Them)
Modern leaders understand the value of good mental practices — but sometimes neglect their own. If you’re experiencing extreme mood changes and stress, we recommend taking a step back and evaluating your mental health.
Our eBook “5 Mental Mistakes That Kill Leaders’ & Managers’ Productivity (and How to Avoid Them)” will give you valuable and actionable insight into how your overall health impacts your productivity.
About the eBook
Do you ever feel stuck, overwhelmed with uncertainties, or scared that you’re not doing enough as a leader? These are all signs of high stress levels.
It’s natural to take more responsibility as a manager, but here are some bad habits our eBook covers:
Saying “yes” to everyone and everything
Before confirming meetings, presentations, or interviews, make sure you have time for them. Filling your calendar to the brim without leaving time to recharge will leave you feeling overwhelmed.
Negative thought patterns
We recommend practicing mindfulness in the workplace. The strategy may take some time to master, but you can identify and replace negative thoughts through this technique.
Ineffective communication
When there’s a discrepancy between what someone says and what the other person hears, it leads to poor message disclosure. Through our book, you’ll learn the power of active listening and how to work with different communication styles.
Wearing busy as a badge of honor
Modern employees prefer working smarter, not harder. Think of that whenever you feel proud of long work hours without breaks.
Perfectionism:
Don’t set unrealistic expectations for your team; this will only cause unnecessary frustrations. Instead, develop attainable goals and work with department heads to monitor the team’s progress towards them.
