KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Burnout somewhat subsided in the workplace in general, but it is hitting hard in the middle-manager level.
• Awareness and listening to your body are the first step to prevent burnout. Also, honest communication and ability of leaders to be vulnerable can help their teams to have sustainable careers and grow.
• Leaders often think that part of their job is sheltering their team from the levels of stress that the leaders experience. This can actually do their reports a disservice by not giving them a realistic picture of the job the aspire to. When thinking about appropriate level of sharing, think what would you say in an informational interview about what your job is about. This will also help you build your own awareness of what’s really going on.
• High-achievers are high-risk for burnout. They don’t  value themselves as they value others. High-achievers need to be intentional and build a muscle of taking care of themselves, let go of the things you don’t need to be a high-achiever at, and claim your power back.
