Supporting Mental Health as an Effective Leader
summary
Rates rise — suicides up 24% from 1994–2016 and 18.5% of US adults face mental illness — and companies aren’t matching rhetoric with systems. Managers must be proactive with one‑on‑ones, clear roadblocks, immediate follow‑up on tough code reviews (text plus call), quarterly resource reminders, occasional in‑person meetups and even flying remote teammates in. Put no repercussions policies in writing, create safe spaces, offer work from home allowances, and treat people-first decisions as long‑term business strategy.
