Replay: Exploring the Impact of Leaders on Mental Health and Performance with Jen Arnold
About this episode
Lee Scott and Jen Arnold discuss the significant impact of leadership on mental health and workplace performance.
In this replay episode, Lee sits down with Jen Arnold, CEO of Growth Signals, to unpack the real impact leaders have on trust, wellbeing, and performance at work. Jen challenges the surface-level approach to workplace wellness and reframes leadership as one of the most influential forces in a person's mental health and daily energy. She shares why trust is built in the smallest moments, how unclear expectations quietly erode culture, and what "compassionate candor" looks like when leaders go first with honesty and ownership. From missed one-on-ones to broken peer trust, Jen offers practical ways to repair relationships before resentment becomes the norm. Lee and Jen also explore the hidden stress of peer-to-peer conflict and the emotional energy it drains from teams. Together, they outline actionable steps leaders can take to name emotions, assume good intent, navigate workplace politics with integrity, and rebuild trust without sacrificing values. This conversation is a masterclass in resilient, people-first leadership that strengthens both culture and results. Additional Resources: Attend Unleashing Leaders University!
