Burnout Is Not a Badge of Honour

“I'm just tired. I'll be fine once things calm down." It's the most common thing I hear from leaders.

But what's being described isn't tiredness, it has a clinical definition, a well documented physiological mechanism, and it's affecting people at a scale the world hasn't seen before.

This is what burnout actually is, why it's showing up everywhere right now, and how we address it at the root.
