Managing people is challenging and a leaders wellbeing impacts on the team’s experience. Leaders have the same work-related stresses and strains as everyone else - dealing with change and uncertainty; managing their workload; keeping ahead or keeping up with the game; balancing home, work and other commitments.
A leaders role is about working through others, you're trying to be aware of how those things are going for everyone in your team plus monitoring that they're working well together - and dealing with it if they're not. And since you're the boss, you're likely to be the first port of call when team members have got problems of any sort.
Lead the way and equip yourself; ask yourself what experiences, empathy and education you can bring to promoting and supporting mental wellbeing in yourself and others. Think about whether you'd benefit from up-skilling through the Manager Equip toolkit which is designed to support managers and team leaders in their role promoting wellbeing at work.
