Most leaders think burnout comes from workload. It doesn’t. It comes from running decisions through a nervous system that never gets to stand down.
In this episode, Denise G. Lee breaks down the hidden leadership cost of outsourcing regulation to performance, chaos, praise, and relief — and why insight alone doesn’t fix the cycle. If you’ve confused urgency for importance or productivity for safety, this will confront you in the best way.
