Safe leadership

Review

Self-care is important, especially in leadership. You can’t support others effectively if you’re not taking care of yourself. Identifying your self-care needs requires recognising more than your basic needs and finding activities that bring you happiness and fulfillment. As you grow, what brings you happiness can change, so it is important to regularly check in with yourself and adjust your self-care routine. When leaders take care of themselves, they’re better at understanding and supporting others. It’s like leading by example and making sure everyone’s wellbeing is a priority. This encourages a healthier community.
