A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill

From the perspective of the necessity for rethinking, this discussion explores the philosophical, psychological, and occupational psychological dimensions of Employee Assistance Programmes, examining how they shape both a leader’s self-management and their relationships with employees in both the present and future.

A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill

What It’s About

The burdens described by the concept of “Mental Load” are increasingly permeating the daily lives of leaders. While the term was originally often used in the context of family and household duties, it has long since made its way into the professional world and leadership management.
