One of the most crucial elements of mental health is understanding that there is no "off switch." Life's challenges don't just disappear, and attempting to ignore or suppress them can lead to detrimental outcomes, including burnout and even suicide. A great leader knows the importance of resilience, which means facing difficulties with a proactive mindset. This involves recognizing warning signs of mental distress, whether in oneself or in others, and taking appropriate action. It's about creating an environment where it's okay to talk about mental health and where seeking support is not just accepted but encouraged.
