Leadership Lounge: Leading on Empty: How to Tackle Leadership Burnout
Update: 2024-08-14
Description
No one is immune from burnout. Not even accomplished leaders. In fact, we often find that it’s the
highest performing, most passionate leaders who are most at risk from burnout.
So, what can you do to address this growing problem? What are the warning signs of burnout? And,
when a leader reaches burnout, what are the consequences for the individual and the organization?
In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to some of our trusted advisors—Nic Cutts, Guylaine
David, and Henryk Krajewski—who share their perspectives on:
- How leaders can spot the warning signs of burnout in themselves—and their teams.
- Why it’s important leaders reframe their attitudes toward burnout.
- How leaders can avoid creating a burnout culture in their organization.
- How toxic positivity can lead to burnout.
