Organizational Leadership - Optimizing Your Team’s Performance

Within the financial sector, increasingly competitive and volatile global market forces often breed acutely demanding corporate cultures, which tend to obliterate work/life boundaries. Even the “best and brightest” employees suffer when work/life demands pile on at a faster pace than they can resolve.

Consider the plight of an employee who, in addition to managing a heavy and complicated workload, may be dealing with their child’s serious illness, a contentious relationship, marriage, or divorce, a declining parent, or mounting financial pressures. More often than not, they find themselves operating in a highly reactive state, working harder, longer and faster in order to manage all of the things that are competing for their limited time and attention.
