In The Trenches

Employee Burnout and The Great Resignation

Listen Later

My guest today is Carin-Isabel Knoop, Executive Director of the Harvard Business School Case Research & Writing Group. Carin has spent decades writing cases on managers and leaders all over the world, across a wide array of functions and industries. In 2019, alongside co-author John Quelch, she published Compassionate Management of Mental Health in the Modern Workplace, a book that dove deeply into the relationship between work life and mental well-being, and suggested in which managers can and should act as the "chief mental health officers" of their respective teams.  

In today's episode, we dive deeply into the following questions and issues: 

  • Link between employee burnout and turnover
  • Signs for leaders to look for that may be predictive of turnover
  • Prevention strategies, for both the CEO and her employees
  • Can CEOs maintain “high performance cultures” while simultaneously managing the risk of employee burnout?
  • How to detect emotional depletion within yourself
  • Personality traits that are positively correlated with burnout risk 
  • Separating your own sense of happiness from the success of your business at any given time
  • How acquirors of businesses can and should perform due diligence on the employee base that they're acquiring

    • Please enjoy!
