POV: Getting sober taught me the importance of self-care at work

A sober CEO argues that people need a self-care routine in order to become intuitive and empathetic leaders.

Most people can agree that being a leader requires trustworthiness, responsibility, and having the capacity to make tough decisions. However, a lot of people don’t understand that in order to not only be a good leader, but a great one, it takes a significant amount of self-reflection and self-care. I would actually say that a leader’s commitment to working on themselves directly correlates to their success, quality of relationships, and bottom line.
