Burnout Isn’t Just Stress—It’s a Leadership Identity Crisis

Dr. Tracy Christopherson and Michelle Troseth host The TRU Leader Podcast to assist leaders in overcoming norms that cause suffering at work and home. They invited guest Jimmy Burroughes, author of “Beat Burnout,” who shared his insights on preventing and recovering from burnout in leadership roles.

Burroughes, an ex-British army officer and now a leadership coach, discussed his transition from military service in Iraq post-9/11 to combating burnout. He emphasized the link between imposter syndrome and leader burnout, stressing the importance of an abundance mindset, integration, and cooperation both within and beyond the workplace. His personal battle with burnout inspired him to write “Beat Burnout,” providing practical steps for leaders to avoid it.

Jimmy also addresses the current challenges leaders face, such as the shortage of role models due to the retirement of established leaders, insufficient training and resources for emerging leaders, and team dynamics since COVID.
