Leading on Empty: How to Tackle Leadership Burnout
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.

“I worked with a COO of a global company, who traveled so much and so frequently that he collapsed on a flight and had to be taken to hospital. In the next coaching session, all he could speak about were the meetings that he missed and what others would think about him. He was stressed out about being stressed out.”Nic Cutts
