Great Leaders Don’t Burn Out – They Fill Their Cup First
Leadership starts with well-being. Prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional capacity to lead with strength and sustainability.
Leadership isn’t just about doing more – it’s about leading well. And that starts with something often overlooked: your own well-being.
Business leaders in Hawai‘i are redefining leadership by recognizing that self-care isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. A 2025 ZipDo study found 66% of leaders skip self-care due to work demands, leading to poor decisions and burnout.¹
Burnout matters – it can reduce leadership effectiveness by up to 10%, according to a JAMA Network study.²
The solution? Start with your own cup. At UHA Health Insurance, we support leaders who lead with care – by caring for themselves first.
