Strategic Leadership: a balm for languishing?

5/11/2021

Colleagues,

This is a follow up to yesterday’s post on languishing, in which we named the mental health space between flourishing and depression. It is a space many of us may be occupying, despite the sense that we are emerging on the other side of this pandemic.
 
Languishing is a surreal place to be. Perhaps most strange is the way it comes and goes. I can feel great one day – positive, excited, and focused – and completely dull and apathetic the next.
 
I suggested yesterday that engaging in strategic leadership practices was helpful, so let’s expand on that:
  • Purpose: focusing on what’s important, as opposed to what is urgent, can provide you with a greater sense of meaning.
  • Problems: addressing root problems requires a level of focus and collaboration that may be helpful.​
Picture
  • Progress: moving your organization forward in small incremental steps leads to immediate satisfaction.
  • People: being present with people and helping them grow increases your sense of connection. The attention required can also help bring you into flow state and provide the benefits of being totally focused.
​
Even if you aren’t languishing, someone you know probably is. Consider sharing this with them.

Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
