Managers are exhausted — and it’s not because they don’t care or aren’t capable.
In this episode, we talk about why middle managers are burning out faster than anyone else, what overwhelm really looks like in leadership roles, and the hidden cost of promoting people without giving them the support they need to lead.
If you’ve noticed frustration, disengagement, or inconsistency showing up in your management team — this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar.
In this episode, we cover:
Reflection Question: If your managers are overwhelmed, what are you expecting them to handle that they’ve never been trained for?
Leadership doesn’t improve overnight — it improves with intention, reflection, and support.
