Dr. Trisha Vinatieri, clinical psychologist and Chief Well-Being Officer, joins Brian Gorman for a grounded conversation on burnout not as an individual resilience problem, but as a leadership responsibility. Burnout is often treated as inevitable or as a workload issue to be solved by “doing less.” This conversation challenges that assumption. Trisha and Brian explore how leaders are uniquely positioned to prevent burnout through how work is designed, how purpose is protected, and how people are seen and heard without reducing the work itself. Drawing from Trisha’s work in healthcare systems and Brian’s leadership advisory practice, the episode reframes burnout as a signal of misalignment rather than personal failure. Together, they unpack what leaders can notice earlier, what conversations matter most, and how small shifts in attention, listening, and job design can restore energy and engagement. Burnout is not prevented by doing less. It is prevented when leaders create the conditions for people to do the right work, with clarity, purpose, and dignity. (27 min.)
