However, transformational leaders are rare, and in the digital age, this type of leadership is becoming more coveted than ever. Transformational leadership is a management style that integrates emotional intelligence or EQ as a core value that sees an employee’s mental health and well-being as a cornerstone for long term growth and organizational success. Transformational leadership embraces the idea that growth is essential for constructing a healthy working life. A sense of belonging may be the most important element in developing a successful corporate health and wellness strategy. With the number of employees increasingly dealing with mental health issues, corporate health and wellness and emotional intelligence are becoming more important than ever to the toolkit of great leadership.
