Strengthen motivation, direction, and relationships in leadership

Leadership Well-being

Leaders often face pressure from many directions, and their own well-being is pushed aside. But poor well-being affects both results and culture. Research shows that leader well-being impacts employee mental health, productivity, sick leave, and retention. High well-being, on the other hand, strengthens the whole organization.

At CfL, we help you work deeply with leader well-being. We’re among the leading experts in the field and behind Denmark’s largest studies on the topic. We have strong experience with leadership networks and development across sectors.

We combine data, experience, and practical insight to find what challenges your leaders – and turn it into concrete solutions.

Organizations Where We Have Achieved Results TogetheR

When you invest in leader well-being, you gain:

  • Stronger leadership networks where leaders feel supported and connected - rather than isolated.

  • More cohesive leadership teams, where collaboration and shared direction replace competition and resource struggles.

  • Strategic ownership of well-being, where the organization supports not just performance, but also working conditions.

  • Clarity around stressors and protective factors, enabling proactive efforts and sustainable leadership environments.

  • Happier, more motivated leaders with the energy to support well-being in their teams.

How We Help Strengthen Well-being in Leadership Roles

With in-depth qualitative research involving over 1,300 leaders, we’ve gained unique insights into what challenges and protects leaders in practice.

This knowledge allows us to pinpoint the specific stressors your leaders face and transform this into targeted, health-promoting initiatives.

Our approach is preventive and grounded in what truly makes a difference: strong peer communities, clear direction within leadership teams, and a fresh perspective on how navigating relationships and paradoxes can become meaningful - not draining.

"We now have a shared language and practical models to lean on, which makes it easier to have meaningful dialogue with colleagues. What we learned during the programme keeps coming up in our conversations, and I’m committed to ensuring that the insights continue to live and grow within the organization."

1-Day Workshop on Leader Well-Being

Want to work strategically with leadership well-being? CfL’s workshop is a practical, data-driven initiative focusing on the stressors and protective factors that affect your leaders.

What you get:

  • During the workshop, we work with theory, cases, and your real-world experience – exploring what can be changed, strengthened, or done differently.

  • You’ll gain knowledge about well-being in leadership roles, insight into blind spots, and a shared roadmap for continued action.

  • We support you in anchoring the effort, so it leads to lasting impact – not just talk.

How we helped 365discount strengthen leadership well-being

CfL partnered with 365discount to design a leadership programme focused on mental health and resilience. Jesper Bay, Head of Talent Pipeline and Training, shares his impressions:

”The feedback was overwhelmingly positive – especially on how the academic and data-driven content was made practical and relevant. Participants really appreciated that. It wasn’t just a presentation; they walked away with a toolbox. Mette’s [Mette Groos Lønsted] engaging style truly resonated,” 

”The approach was logical and hands-on. It really helped that the challenges were illustrated through clear, relatable examples – many of them from Mette’s own professional experience.”

“Your mental health and well-being are crucial to how you lead your people. As a leader, you're constantly faced with change, interruptions, deadlines, and pressure – all of which place great demands on your mental strength and energy. You need to feel well to lead well. And it matters to your team and your organization that you know how to create a culture that fosters well-being for others.”
