Traditionally, most business has focused on Clarity (thought, logic, numbers), and Courage (action, results). Statistics imply that as more women have come into the workforce, the importance of Connection (emotions in our hearts) --has become clearer.
• 24% of men and 22% percent of women die from heart-related illness annually
• Before 1987, more men than women died of heart disease
• By 2017, men and women experienced similar rates of death from heart disease
• The rise in deaths related to heart disease in the late 1980s coincided with the entry of women into the workforce in equal numbers as men
Leaders must take care of their hearts! The good news is that when we do, our entire bodies work at top efficiency, and we perform better. Studies prove the most successful organizations have leaders that integrate Clarity, Connection, and Courage.
We take care of our heart by making sure we have positive Connection---relaxation, joy, compassion, and caring in our lives.
What are you doing to take care of your heart?
