Harvard’s SHINE program is expanding its research on how leader well-being shapes performance and corporate outcomes — connecting human resilience to financial results.
The consequences aren’t theoretical:
→ Decision fatigue narrows judgment and leads to reactive choices.
→ Burnout and anxiety raise turnover risk and hidden transition costs — quietly eroding value.
→ Resilience isn’t a soft skill; it should be evaluated like liquidity or leverage.
At Eagle Talon, our fundamental analysis of companies is inseparable from our evaluation of leadership.
We conduct both with the same rigor — integrating financial, operational, and behavioral data into one research framework.
We study behavioral signals, track record, and support systems — because when the leader making billion-dollar decisions breaks, so does the business they lead.
👉 Do you stress-test leadership resilience the same way you stress-test financials?
