Description
Burnout is a taboo subject. Admitting you are burning out in your job is tantamount to career suicide for some employees; for their organizations
it is like raising a white flag in the war for talent. But suppose that preventing burnout is the worst thing you can do. Suppose for
some people, particularly high fliers, it represents a call to deep and urgent learning about themselves and how they relate to the world.
Suppose that we need instead to learn to manage burnout and harness the powerful learning potential of the experience, and in so doing
build careers aligned with individual meaning and purpose, sustainable in the long term. What would organizations and their people need
to do to achieve this?
This book:
* Explains what burnout is, how it is becoming the 21st-century business equivalent of the 'black
death', and how it can derail your career
* Highlights the financial, reputational and personal costs to organizations and people
* Details
how burnout can deliver a killer punch to talent management and the development of the leaders of tomorrow, and risk the retention, growth
and productivity of high fliers
* Explores why some of us develop a strong sense of our own, personal identity at work, while others
find it more difficult
* Presents a coaching process to manage burnout and harness its learning potential
* Provides a framework for
individuals to build careers aligned with individual meaning and purpose.
