Burnout has been an increasingly important conversation. Ignoring it  doesn’t make it go away and there are no simple solutions for  identifying, managing and curing burnout. As leaders it is also our job  to assist our team when they are struggling with burnout, in addition to  paying attention to our own feelings and mental state.

Earlier this week I shared an article from Jason Shen that provided some interesting ways to work through burnout. There’s  one of the topics I want to cover a little deeper, because I think it’s  really important. I highly encourage you to read his post, which  includes reconnecting with others, re-framing your goals, finding ways  to contribute, plus the topic I want to cover today: Hobbies.

This is part of my Get better Friday, all about being a better leader.  Each piece is about me describing what I’ve been practicing to help me  become a better leader and coach for my team, my career and my personal  life.

Would love to hear from you on this topic!
