ABSTRACT
This article is the result of a comparative analysis on the topic of
Leadership and the need to take care of oneself, bringing a present
contribution to the topic within ecclesiastical organizations. The contemporary
Church has increasingly demanded more from leaders, both in the organizational,
spiritual, emotional and other spheres of society. Being an effective leader
involves not only technical skills and management abilities, but also the
development of a healthy spirituality, ethical awareness and adequate
self-care. The objective of this article refers to the process of
self-management, in which the leader dedicates himself to improving his
physical, mental and emotional well-being. This strategic practice seeks to
promote the health and resilience of the leader, allowing him to perform his
role more efficiently and healthily. There are several aspects of self-care
that we could address, such as physical, mental and emotional health. In this
article, we will only discuss the self-care that leaders need for their
physical and emotional health, because if their emotions are sick, they will
reflect on their exterior. So, how can they take care of people when they are
sick? Their emotional and physical weakness can influence decision-making,
communication, emotional intelligence, team engagement and compromise the
outcome of the mission. As a result, we will examine different self-care
approaches and strategies that can be adopted by leaders, including exercising,
seeking a healthy work-life balance, cultivating meaningful relationships and
developing self-reflection skills.
Keywords: Leadership. Care. Emotional. Mission.
