Organizational productivity can not occur unless people take care of themselves. All people need exercising, laughing, fun, friends, eating well to thrive. If they do not get these things, that can are not contributing at an optimal level for the organization. Leaders need to lead the way in this area too, but just in business accumen. <BR/><BR/>I say suicidal people aside, as that people who committ suicide have larger personal issues than energy management. Unfortunately I speak from experience with people I know who have committed and tried to commit suicide.Lawrence Polskywww.peoplenrg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772292297740962352.post-27164938722136561562008-06-03T22:52:00.000-04:002008-06-03T22:52:00.000-04:00Theresa,<BR/>The stories of depression and suicide sadden me. They also give me a sense of gumption to do what I can to not let this occur. You have moved to me write on leadership energy,not so much as an expert but as a person who cares. I was an employee assistance counselor for Seagram Ltd. for 15 years and still have that deep well of caring.<BR/><BR/>What started as a list of 5 quick ideas has now morphed into about 15 ideas and is growing. I will post it Monday at my site and I'll let you know when it is up. I have quoted a paragraph from you and the question: How do we help leaders?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for rekindling my thoughts about such an important key in employee engagement.<BR/><BR/>DavidDavid Zingerhttp://www.davidzinger.comnoreply@blogger.com
