Mental Health and Leadership!

Dr. Shanita Brown hosts Dr. Tiffany Young on the Leaders Coach Podcast to discuss mental health in leadership. Dr. Young, a licensed professional counselor and executive functioning coach, emphasizes the importance of mental health management for leaders, comparing it to physical health. She highlights the unique pressures faced by leaders, often leading to anxiety and depression, and stresses the need for self-care, delegation, and building a supportive team. Dr. Young advises leaders to recognize signs of declining mental health, such as exhaustion and loss of enjoyment, and to prioritize self-preservation. She also suggests that leaders should learn to say no, choose themselves, and build other leaders within their organizations.
