4 Steps to Beat Burnout at Work 🚀

How burnout shows up in your team
Burnout rarely announces itself; it creeps in as small changes that compound. High performers who once leaned in start avoiding decisions, showing up to every meeting but contributing less. Quality dips, rework rises, and “quick wins” take longer. People get quieter, more cynical, or oddly “fine,” masking exhaustion behind professionalism. Calendars fill with back-to-back calls, lunch disappears, and Slack replies turn terse or delayed. Engagement surveys plateau even as workloads stay high. You’ll notice more sick days, micro-conflicts, safety slips, and a reluctance to share bad news. None of this is about weak people—it’s about strong people carrying too much, for too long, without the conditions that let them recover.
