Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }},
Most burnout doesn't look like burnout from the outside. And if you're the kind of leader I work with, it probably doesn't feel like it either.
You're still turning up. Still getting things done. But somewhere underneath all of that, you are running very fast and no one can see it.
This week on Take 5 I'm busting the workload myth and naming what's actually draining you. It's not the decisions and it's not the meetings. It's the performance on top of them, and that's a different problem with a different fix. I also name the two patterns I see underneath almost every leader who comes to me stretched thin, and give you a place to start.
