The Strategic Edge: Emotional Intelligence as Executive Power
In today’s fast-paced business world, success isn’t just about performance—it’s about sustainability. At the recent Women’s Executive Leadership, Singapore 1 meeting, members came together for a reflective and impactful session on career longevity, exploring how leaders can thrive over the long term—without burning out.
Facilitated by Rasyida S. Paddy, the discussion centered around how stamina is not something that happens by chance—but something leaders must build and protect with purpose.
Key insights from the session:
1. Career stamina is intentional, not accidental
Long-term success depends on daily habits that support energy, clarity, and resilience. Leaders must learn to recharge as much as they push forward.
2. The “Four-Leaf Clover” of Wellness
A practical framework was shared, reminding leaders to nurture all aspects of well-being:
Physical: rest, movement, nourishment
Mental: boundaries, pause, balance
Social: community, connection, relationships
Financial: long-term security, freedom from stress
3. Small shifts create big impact
From setting boundaries to modeling balance, leaders shape the tone of workplace wellness by how they show up each day.
Reflection questions that stood out:
How do we recognise when stamina begins to fade?
What does it look like to lead with energy and presence?
How can leaders protect well-being—for themselves and their teams?
The leadership shift we need
Well-being is not separate from leadership—it’s foundational to it. In every role, leaders have the opportunity to create cultures where sustainability, not exhaustion, is the norm.
