Addressing Leadership Fatigue Syndrome is an Internal Process

Business Habitat with Sam Dean

In Episode 81, Sam highlights the epidemic of leadership burnout that has been prevalent for decades and now with COVID is increasing exponentially. Sam draws on her own experience to discuss this important topic with compassion and honesty. While there appears to be widespread recognition that burnout is real and impacting both individuals and businesses at an alarming rate, there is little agreement on how to reverse this trend beyond corporate training and better technology. Quoting a recent Forbes article, Sam notes the statistics are clearly on the rise and yet the proposed solutions fall far short of addressing the real problem. These methods overlook the critical fact that leadership programmes typically deal with leading other people, not ourselves. With over 20 years of leadership training, Sam is well placed to talk to both the virtues and pitfalls of traditional courses and why we need something more intrinsic to deal with this escalating predicament. In this podcast Sam shares her experience of dealing with burnout and describes the clear steps she took to move forward and get honest about what she wanted and how to get there. With the view that all these problems are solveable, Sam opens the conversation that will be increasingly important as we navigate the months and years ahead.
