Creating mental health across cultures

More about the book

Managing healthy transcultural organisations relies on individuals' strength and sense of coherence (SOC) to navigate challenging work situations. Managers must activate their resources and enhance their transcultural and conflict management skills to address these challenges effectively. Our consultancy practice highlights the importance of linking health and well-being with transcultural communication and conflict management. A systemic approach fosters the development of SOC components, contributing to both individual and organisational well-being. This book introduces MEHTO, a coaching and training module for managers featuring individual counselling, group training, team mentoring, and facilitator training. Developed through management research in international organisations and our consultancy experience, MEHTO addresses the growing need for mental health support in managers and organisations, particularly highlighted by recent global economic crises. We advocate for a shift towards holistic and spiritual values in the 21st century to foster sustainable, healthy organisations. This manual aims to cultivate health-oriented management practices that prioritize well-being across cultures, serving as a handbook for managers seeking a successful and healthy leadership mindset.
