Abstract
Role and responsibility of a leader is vital in every industrial sector. For the sake of responsibilities, they compromise with their physical and mental health. The study is aimed at assessing the general health of mid-life leaders in addition to conventional physiological parameters. Eighty four leaders (mean age 52.01±5.73) underwent Self-management of Excessive Tension (SMET) intervention for 5 days and were assessed with General Health Questionnaires and medical parameters. GHQ change was found to be significant at p<0.001. Similarly, the trend in other clinical variables such as SBP (expand all these) (p<0.001), PR (p<0.001), RR (p<0.001) and weight (p<0.05) were lower whereas DBP (p>0.05) was higher. The general health was significantly improved for top level leaders and is suggestive of better leadership development through SMET intervention.
