In episode 12 of Better@Work, we chat with Chester Elton, Leadership Expert and Author. Chester shares his perspective on the #1 issue in workplaces across the globe, anxiety. Anxiety in the workplace has always been present, however, rates of anxiety, have increased significantly since 2020 and more people are quitting for mental health reasons. Chester shares generational differences in dealing with anxiety and explains how twenty somethings are much more comfortable discussing how they are really doing. Chester outlines the signs of anxiety, strategies for leaders to help reduce it and ways to normalise mental health conversations in workplaces.

Chester Elton is the #4 leadership expert in the world and #2 among the world's top organizational culture experts ranked by the Global Gurus research organisation in 2022. He brings world-class energy, insight, and passion to the conversation with a mindset of empathy and gratitude. Chesteris a best-selling author, speaker and executive coach, he and his co-author Adrian Gostick have proven that the key to really successful companies is really successful relationships with employees. We discuss their most recent book; Anxiety at Work: 8 Strategies to Help Teams Build Resilience, Handle Uncertainty, and Get Stuff Done

In this episode, we cover…
The #1 cause of anxiety and how managers can recognize it
The difference between worry, stress and anxiety
How to Lead with empathy and gratitude
The importance of an ally at work
Being better able to talk about anxiety and creating emotionally safe environments. 

Tune in and find out why Chester also has huge passion for the book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

On top of all that, I debrief on Chester’s key insights with my friend Annette Sloan and answer a question from our listener Sarah,  whose boss exploded when she answered a question from someone more senior.
