Employee well-being isn’t about perks - it’s about system design.

When leaders treat burnout as a personal weakness instead of an organizational output, they destroy the very trust they need to scale.

For CEOs, founders, and global team architects, employee well-being isn't an initiative - it's a signal of leadership system health.

In this Forbes feature, I shared a perspective on how leaders must build structural resilience into the system itself, not just offer surface-level wellness programs.

"The only way to create a balanced life is to balance work through self-management and self-organization. Leaders who know how to support teams to become self-sufficient, honor their commitments and thrive on their own create high-functioning human systems. They choose to hold themselves and each other accountable. That is their standard, for themselves and in life. Make it so, and it shall be."
