Overview

Equilibrium is the perfect balance between two opposing forces. In the world of economics, that refers to supply and demand. In the modern world of work, those opposites are organisational demands and workforce psychological wellbeing. But do the drivers of profit and productivity outweigh the need for investment in the psychological enrichment of the workforce? Can they ever exist in a state of equilibrium? Tanya Heaney-Voogt shows us that they can - and they must - if we are to have sustainable organisations. Finding Equilibrium is the leader's map to navigating the new world with insights into motivation, productivity, job demands and burnout prevention. The book dispels common misunderstandings about psychological safety and shows leaders how to get the work done while looking after their teams and themselves. It is full of practical, adaptable, evidence-informed strategies to find equilibrium, through the golden threads of role clarity and leadership support.

'Diving into a great leadership book is akin to a heart-to-heart with a mentor who's seen it all. That's exactly what it's like to step into the pages of Tanya's latest book, Finding Equilibrium. This isn't your run-of-the-mill leadership manual, it's a personal conversation, especially for those of us who lead with thoughtfulness and introspection. Tanya doesn't just share her journey; she lays out a path that's relatable and attainable for even the most reserved among us. What really caught my attention though, was Tanya's knack for breaking down the complex world of leadership into bite-sized, manageable pieces. Wherever you stand on your leadership path, Tanya's insights on improving mental wellness at work, striking a leadership balance and breaking free from the chains of workaholism are downright inspiring. And, I might add, so needed right now. This book goes beyond mere information; it's transformational.' -Emma McQueen, business coach, host of Tea with the Queen podcast, author of Go-getter 'If you are committed to mentally healthy workplaces, you need Finding Equilibrium, a guide to finding better work-life balance.

The practical advice on how to support different leadership styles has given me lots of strategies and tools to help leaders in my workplace. This book needed to be written.

I have no doubt it will help a lot of people, just as it helped me.' -Leah Mether, communication and soft skill specialist, author of Steer Through the Storm and Soft is the New Hard 'Living true to the concept of equilibrium, reading this book provided me with a beautiful balance of intellectual synthesis of extensive research through to lived human experiences in real workplaces. I laughed out loud at Tanya's clever one liners from bug zappers to exploding porridge! It's a gift to be able to make sense of complex workplace issues in relatable ways.
