By: Ford, Sheaffer

Leadership has traditionally focused on supporting others in their pursuit of goals and aspirations. However, leaders often neglect their own well-being, particularly in terms of personal health and healthy lifestyle practices .The aspect of personal excellence that leaders frequently struggle with is their own health. Due to the increased workload observed across various sectors, leaders tend to prioritize immediate priorities at the expense of self-care, leading to an unsustainable lifestyle over an extended period This trend is prevalent across organizations, industries, and leadership roles at all levels. Therefore, the management of personal health has been recognized as a crucial component of living a fulfilling life and effective leadership.

Although prioritizing work over self-care may be well-intentioned, as it reflects a commitment to maximum effort and productivity, leaders who consistently place their work and achievements above their health and well-being may find themselves trapped in a downward spiral of deteriorating habits with long-term negative consequences for their health In her 2016 article, described the characteristics of a healthy leader, stating, "I am the instrument through which I make a difference as a leader. Therefore, it is my responsibility to prioritize the care of this instrument before anything else. Only then will I be able to positively impact the lives of others."
