Telling burnt-out professionals to "build resilience" is like blaming the striker when the pitch is broken. As a Harvard- and Oxford-trained public health doctor, I explain why individual-level burnout at work solutions fail — and what a whole-system approach looks like instead. In this video, I introduce the Whole-System Challenge — a five-pillar framework mapping the real drivers of executive burnout across individuals, teams, leadership, work design, and broader context. If you lead people and burnout keeps returning despite your best efforts, this is why. The 5 pillars: • The Player — individual health and mindset; • The Team — psychological safety and trust; • The Manager — leadership purpose and integrity; • The Pitch — work design, processes, and technology; • The Crowd — societal and economic pressures.
