Leader Burnout: Subscribe at the link in my bio. Issue lands Thursday. 3/3

[Martin Cole @SDLMartinCole]

One finding from the research: the energy you bring to work is not generated at work. It comes from the whole of your life. A house move, a family demand, a financial worry: all draw from the same pool as the back-to-back meetings. 2/3

Most managers don't recognise burnout until they're already in it. Research shows warning signs appear months before performance drops. Thursday's newsletter covers the clinical evidence on burnout and why leadership roles are structurally high-risk. 1/1

Being in charge isn’t leadership.

I used to think it was...

⇢ The one with all the answers
⇢ The one everyone “reports” to

But turns out... that’s just management cosplay.
Real leadership? It looks nothing like that.

Real leaders don’t flex authority.
They build trust.

[Martin Cole @SDLMartinCole]

New Leaders: You can build your credibility and the power of your team by knowing when to admit that you don’t have all the answers.
When saying 'I don't know' makes you stronger:
