Maintaining mental skills

There are several LGIS Healthy Intel articles which outline practical techniques to help you improve your mental skills and be your best self:

Different strokes for different folks

Ever noticed how different people see and hear the same words and messages, yet respond in different ways? Everyone processes information differently and sometimes people respond in ways that might be perceived to be ‘difficult’ to deal with. Besides personality differences and cultural diversity, it is becoming increasingly common to find multiple generations (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Y and Z) of leaders who are managing workers from different generations.

Dealing with the ‘too hard’ workers

Perfectionists can often produce outstanding work however their excessive attention to detail, struggle to delegate tasks and repeated reworking of projects has the potential to cause issues within the workplace. Workers who have the tendency to be perfectionists are more like to be anxious and stressed about their work. If perfectionism is not managed well it can lead to mental health issues, conflicts within teams and constant procrastination which impacts on workplace productivity.
