As said though, we’re very good at focusing on the short term, and never getting to the long term - and that’s exactly the issue we can find here, as wellbeing is about a sustainable approach to life and work. ![]() ![]() However this approach is self-limiting, and taking the time to develop competencies such as strategic influencing, communications and relationship-building skills is time well spent. This extends to our attitude towards self-development which often comes lower down the pecking order, with technical skills and competencies coming first. But, just as making the time for strategic long-term thinking is a sign of a true leader, so is looking after our own well-being, whether it’s physical or mental health. It’s similar to how in business we often focus on the immediate at the expense of the longer term. ![]() In times of stress we often are so busy focusing on the immediate issues, prioritising fire-fighting and the urgent matters hitting our desks, that we tend not to think of attending to our wellbeing at all. ![]() Reflecting on the conversations I have had with treasurers recently - from companies both big and small - I’m reminded that it’s really important in times of change, uncertainty and challenge to take care of oneself and to make sure you’re looking after your well-being.
