Storytime With Managers

Burnout with Aneika and Anjuan Simmons


Listen Later

Storytime With Managers is a collection of twenty minute conversations where Jennifer Tu finds answers to questions of interest to both established and budding leaders in technology fields.

What is burnout?  What does it look like in an individual, versus a team?  What can you do to counter burnout?

What do you do if your new team is already suffering from burnout, before you've had a chance to build relationships with anyone?

In Episode 24, Professor Aneika Simmons (@aneika on Twitter) and engineering manager Anjuan Simmons (@anjuan on Twitter) talk about burnout from two different perspectives: academic research and hands-on management.
