Emotionally intelligent security leadership to accelerate innovation
summary
Security leaders face 53% burnout and a projected 50% churn by 2025, so the session pushes concrete practices: three-by-three gratitude (three things daily for three weeks) to boost dopamine/serotonin, box breathing (4‑count inhale/hold/exhale/hold) to downregulate stress, and attention to collective intelligence (social sensitivity, turn‑taking, % women). A case study builds a equitable on-call schedules flywheel, yields faster ticket closure, clearer decisions, less burnout and more time for hackathons — it works.
