XL19: NICK JONSSON – Author of Executive Loneliness
THE XL PODCAST BY GRAHAM BROWN
91% of Singaporeans report feeling stressed. But it’s not just an Asian phenomenon. Globally, we are beginning to have the conversation about mental health and how we’re all affected in some way. The UK appointed its first suicide minister in 2018. And, in Australia, the biggest cause of death for males aged 15-44 is suicide. Cleary something is wrong, and we need to talk.
Clearly, something is wrong, and we need to talk. In today’s XL Podcast, we step back from discussing leadership strategies to focus on the leaders themselves—exploring the challenges they face, the toll of constant pressure, and the struggles that often remain unspoken. As we dive into their experiences, we aim to uncover the mental health implications that accompany leadership roles, emphasizing the need for open dialogue and support in a high-stakes environment.
Join us as we highlight the human side of leadership, fostering understanding and empathy for those at the helm. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, leaders face not only strategic challenges but also personal dilemmas that influence their decisions and actions. By sharing their stories of struggle, compromise, and resilience, we can bridge the gap between leadership roles and the human experiences that shape them. This exploration encourages us to recognize the emotional weight carried by those in authority and to appreciate the complexity of their journeys, ultimately leading to a more compassionate and supportive environment for all.
