“In my view, taking care of your own wellbeing has always been a crucial aspect of great leadership. However, until recently it has not been acknowledged nearly enough. I believe we need to call this out loudly and make it a key part of the way we all see successful leadership. Leadership needs to be about both performance AND wellbeing.”

“A perfectly timed book. The martyr leaders of the 90s who valued presentism over all else are fading into irrelevance. This book shows why. An easy read that brings together science and real-world examples to celebrate a new breed of leadership which puts self-care center stage for a successful career.”

"This book could not be more timely. Leaders during the COVID pandemic have had to focus squarely on well-being - both their own and that of their teams. This book equips these leaders with the basic building blocks for how to lead in a way that is sustainable for their physical and mental health."

“The importance of health and well being and the link to culture and effective leadership has never been more apparent (we can thank the pandemic for that!). As leaders we must lean into this and get it right, for ourselves and for our organisations. Hayden’s book lays out the facts and the roadmap for success – it’s essential reading for a healthy, happy, and successful workplace.”
