Abstract
This chapter begins to address how managers can affect the mental well-being of individuals in their organizations. It asks managers to first take a personal inventory – including what type of leader they feel they might be and their understanding of mental illness. It then advances what type of leadership skills are needed to promote and build an organization’s mental well-being. It ends with an exercise that encourages readers to consider how they tend to behave when faced with mental issues in their teams and what costs each approach might have.
