The rise of mental fitness: How leaders can thrive under pressure

Published: 27 January 2026

Karl Moore, Associate Professor (Prof.) of Strategy & Organization at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s Desautels Faculty of Management, argues that mental fitness is rapidly becoming a core leadership advantage. In his recent article, he highlights that leaders who are wellrested, physically prepared, and mentally regulated make clearer decisions and perform more effectively under pressure.

Moore emphasizes that leadership is not purely cognitive — it is also fundamentally physiological. As workplaces grow more complex, he suggests that mental fitness will increasingly distinguish leaders who thrive from those who merely endure.
