If you've ever wondered what’s *really* going on inside your manager’s head (beyond calendar invites, KPIs, and the occasional existential crisis) you’re not alone.
This week on Seriously, What Could They Be Thinking?, hosts Jaime Peters, and Cindy Goodwin-Sak dig deep into the silent struggles facing managers in today's workplace.
We’re tackling questions that need asking:
* How much does poor mental health among managers really cost the company?
* Why do even great managers burn out—and what is burnout, anyway?
* What makes management so isolating, and can we close that gap?
* Is burnout just part of the job, or can organizations take real action to help?
* What can both new and seasoned leaders do to push back, set boundaries, and protect their own well-being (not just the team's)?
You'll hear surprising stats (unresolved depression costs the US economy $210 billion a year!) and candid, sometimes hilarious, stories from two seasoned experts.
We explore everything from the generational divide in coping skills to the ROI of manager training to what makes managers both the MVP and the MDP (most depleted person) at work.
“Burnout is not a badge of honor; it’s a business risk.”
If you’re a manager, know a manager, or have ever survived a manager, this episode is for you.
☕ So grab your coffee (and, maybe, a stress ball), and ask yourself:
Is manager mental health just another agenda item...or the hidden engine of your entire workplace?
