A key part of leadership is the shaping of workplace cultures to make them conducive to effectiveness for the organisation in meeting its goals and for staff and managers in achieving their own objectives, personally and professionally. The basic idea is that leadership creates win-win situations. Good leaders help their staff (their 'followers') to fulfil their potential while helping the organisation to do what it needs to do. This has significant implications for workplace well-being. An effective leader can make a major contribution to promoting well-being and (here's the win-win bit again), being successful in promoting well-being in turn creates the sort of atmosphere (and culture) in which leaders can flourish and their efforts be appreciated. So, making clear links between leadership and well-being is an important step forward for us.
