Leaders who are determined to make outward change in the world cannot do so without also looking inward at today’s unhealthy and unsustainable work environment. In practice, the mission-driven leaders who have the most effective and sustainable professional lives—and in the long-run are likely to make the biggest impact—are those whose plans for the world align with their own behaviors and the behaviors they cultivate inside their organizations. But all too often, a laser-like focus on the mission comes at the price of a leader’s own health and wellbeing, as well as that of their team.

In this talk, Tony Schwartz breaks down the delicate balance between building an organization that is right for the world and building a work environment that is just right—and how focusing on one without the other is unsustainable.
