I'm sure it will, because we're both passionate about this topic. And that is really just what I write about in the book is that there are personalities at risk for burnout: those that have perfectionist concerns, not strivings, which is our desire to be able to hit goals and be sort of solutions based and high performing.
Feeling overwhelmed by work and life demands? You're not alone. In this engaging episode of 'Ruthless Compassion', Dr. Marcia Sirota chats with Jennifer Moss, an award-winning journalist and workplace well-being expert, about the pervasive issue of burnout. Jennifer, who writes for the Harvard Business Review and is the author of *The Burnout Epidemic*, breaks down what burnout really is—beyond just feeling tired or stressed. It's a state of physical and emotional exhaustion that can leave you feeling detached and ineffective.
Jennifer shares insights into personalities most at risk for burnout, like those with perfectionist tendencies who constantly strive to meet high goals. She identifies six key causes of burnout: workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values. A major highlight is the importance of psychological safety—the idea that you can speak up and take risks without fear of punishment. The episode also delves into how remote work has impacted burnout and why leaders need to model self-care.
Jennifer emphasizes that it's crucial for leaders to understand their teams' capacities and promote a culture of well-being. She also offers practical advice on how to give yourself a break, especially in these challenging times. Whether you're struggling with burnout yourself or want to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips. Tune in to learn how to navigate these emotional challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
