The Burnout Epidemic with Jennifer Moss

Season 3, Ep. 8

Please join me in my bubbling excitement as Jennifer Moss, author of the new book The Burnout Epidemic published by Harvard Business Press joins our conversation.


I can see this book is challenging leaders, teams and organizations to re-think burnout and create healthier, happier and more productive workplaces. It turns out, ping-pong tables may not be enough.


Jennifer vulnerably shares her life experiencing burnout and pandemic (personal and professional) obstacles as well as the systems and mindset she creates, to avoid burnout and interrupt unhealthy patterns. I strongly recommend starting with the last chapter first: Take Care of Yourself, Too.


We talk about:

·      What is burnout?

·      Leadership and leading with empathy and curiosity.

·      A beautiful new take on “professional eavesdropping!”

·      Slowing down the lunch line.


It’s time to address the burnout epidemic – personally and in your role, as a leader. This book fuels our conversation to inspire re-thinking wellness programs, leadership check-ins, and what organizations can do to prevent burnout and build strategies to support self-care, resilience, open communication, and innovation.


Newsflash:  It’s a two-way street! The solution to burnout at work is not about ‘forced fun’ in fact consider leading with good intentions, sincere curiosity how people are really doing and if imbued with empathy then this will build trust and allow for fun and an authentic and productive culture.


Jennifer expresses: “Leaders, I believe in us.” 


Jennifer, I sincerely thank you for your inspiration (today as well as for guidance in this book) encouraging us to battle burnout and support a thriving workplace culture during this pandemic.
