    About this ebook

    Do you want to become a healthier leader, grow as a person and help your organisation to thrive? Healthy Leadership is the first in a series of useful pocketbooks aimed at helping people flourish in their careers and workplaces. A more compact and simpler version of the author Anna Eliatemby's book Healthy Leadership and Organisations, this helpful guide will help you understand the key elements of being an effective and successful leader.

    Unlike many books focused on career success and management, Healthy Leadership doesn't focus purely on the positive aspects of being a leader. Instead, it takes a realistic look at the challenges people may face while running an organisation and highlights the importance of understanding and dealing with negative factors to achieve real and lasting success.

    This easy-to-read book sets out a clear and powerful strategy for business leaders so they can acknowledge and address the negatives, while also welcoming and embracing the positives. Healthy Leadership is a must-read for people who want to better themselves, their business and the world around them.

    Author

    Anna Eliatamby

    I worked in the public, humanitarian and private sector in leadership, well-being and psychology. For over 30 years. I have learned that each organisation strives for decency but there are always toxic elements. These drain people’s energy, motivation and decency. The best way to ensure decency in leadership and organisations is to work collaboratively in the workplace. We then free ourselves to be our best, looking after our self care and well-being. And we must tackle and address the negativity and toxicity. We need to pause and reflect on the greater purpose of working to leave a good enough legacy for the next generation. Isn’t that our obligation? I have learned, over the years, that I am fallible and will make mistakes and errors. That sometimes, I err on the negative side. So I am a work in progress, as we all are. I hope you enjoy the books. Many have praised them, for which I am grateful. “Brilliant” Five stars. Anthony Manning “These books are great. They’re packed full of interesting and pertinent ideas - and exercises to help us explore how the topic in question plays out in our own thinking and behaviour. “Decency” might at first sound like an old-fashioned concept - but it is all the more vital in our complex, fast-paced and ever-changing world of work. It’s the least we can expect of ourselves and each other, if the vital relationships upon which organisations’ endeavours succeed, or fail, are to thrive. It’s also what we should expect from our leaders (in all fields), who should aspire to be role models of truly people-centred behaviour, rather than primarily focused on goals and targets.” David Love. Thank you

      A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.

      This pocketbook also contains some concepts from the 2022 book, Healthy Leadership and Organisations: Beyond the Shadow Side. Anna Eliatamby, Editor.

      Preface

      This pocketbook is part of a series on healthy leadership and organisations for decency. The aim is to encourage you to look at what is golden and shadow in your work as leaders and as organisations, so people can detox and heal. When we focus on the golden, and address the shadow, we are more likely to be decent in all we say and do.

      Decency is ‘honest, polite behaviour that follows accepted moral standards and shows respect for others’ (Oxford Learners Dictionary).

      We all contribute to what is golden (positive) and shadow (negative) in work and life. Mostly we operate from the golden side, but sometimes we function from the shadow side, and this holds us back as individuals and as organisations. We are all human and fallible.

      Let’s give ourselves permission to explore the positive and negative so that we create a better balance between the golden and shadow for ourselves and the wider world community. This way, we can contribute to a healthier world both for us now and for the generations to come. And we may yet achieve better decency for us all.
