The Ripple Effect of Leadership Burnout

Hey, Bold Soul,

Have you noticed the topic of burnout popping up in your conversations a lot more than usual lately? I keep hearing and seeing stories of people just…feeling…blah.  Exhausted, lacking inspiration and motivation, numbing out, and feeling like there’s no end in sight. 

I feel it too on occasion. I’m grateful that my work continues to energize me even when I feel exhausted - it’s that whole ā€˜purpose’ thing I’ve been talking about. 

Burnout shows up quietly, but certainly not overnight - you start noticing it in how meetings feel, in how decisions get made, in how safe it feels to speak up or ask for clarity.

This week’s Embrace Your Inner Boldness podcast episode ā€œThe Ripple Effect of Leadership Burnoutā€ looks at leadership burnout through a practical, human lens. Not as a failure. Not as a diagnosis. Just as something that creates ripples through a team, whether it’s called out or not.

Leadership energy shapes the environment. <<READ THAT AGAIN.
