Cornered OfficeAusgabe 1

The essential read for every manager, executive, and team leader who's exhausted from carrying it all―and is ready to take off the cape so they can finally get the support they need, too.

Cornered Office: Why We Need To Talk About Leadership Mental Health is a call to action for leaders, and the World of Work, to recognize and prioritize LEADERSHIP mental health. This critical leadership development book proves the case of why leaders need to be supported at work too, instead of focusing solely on raising up the people they lead. Written by renowned Organizational Psychologist, mental health at work expert, and two-time author Melissa Doman, MA—this book provides fresh thought leadership insights, data, vetted research, candid real-world interviews, a realistic approach to help leaders personalize how they manage their mental health at work, and how companies can champion these efforts.

This accessible, funny, and no-nonsense book will also help readers learn about:

• Why we need to challenge the powerful continued influence of out-of-date historical narratives surrounding leadership and emotional expressions of mental health struggles in the workplace
• The increasing complex demands from teams, company cultures, and society at large that impact leaders' mental health at work
• How the silence and exclusion of leaders in the mental health conversation can lead to deteriorating productivity, a negative impact on career path, and overall mental wellbeing

Cornered Office: Why We Need To Talk About Leadership Mental Health is an essential read for all managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and business professionals seeking to understand and end unhealthy, unsustainable, and unproductive leadership self-sacrifice, shift the narrative around leadership mental health, and take steps to participate in the mental health at work conversation, for themselves, to achieve the support they deserve.
