Long-Term Health in Leadership: Between obsession and mindful living
Physical health is closely linked to performance and mental health. Without sufficient sleep, exercise and a balanced diet, it becomes considerably more difficult to focus, think clearly and act decisively. Managers can draw on a variety of measuring instruments, such as fitness watches, rings, and bracelets, as well as associated apps, for support in this area. Today, the term 'longevity' describes a trend focusing on strategies, technologies and lifestyles designed to enable people to live longer, healthier and more productive lives. However, many executives feel pressured by this. Instead of relieving stress, health has become another item on their performance agenda and tends to add to stress, which can be detrimental in the long term.
Together with Ellen Nagel, a naturopath and longevity expert, we would therefore like to discuss how executives can find their own personal path to a healthy lifestyle that supports them in achieving their professional and personal goals. Executives should always be in control, actively deciding how to balance technical gadgets, scientific research, mainstream society and their personal circumstances.
