Hello everybody!

In this episode, I provide examples of applying visualisation tools from process management to discover the early signs of burnout or other psychological issues within your organisation. I use my own examples and examples from my class, which students allowed me to use.

Hello everyone!

Today we talk about the DMAIC cycle. DMAIC stads for Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control and is at the core of process optimisation. DMAIC is not only a tool, it is a "way of thinking" about the running processes. In this episode, I give a simple example on how to apply DMAIC in order to estimate the real (and not perceived) antecedents of exhaustion and how to estimate whether you approximate the state of burnout. 

Here is the evaluation I am referring to during this episode (Excel-file).

Hello everybody

In this episode, I talk about the process depiction. There are several ways to depict a process but even the simplest one - with an oval, a rectangle, and a diamond -  is sufficient to find out where and how to start preventing burnout or other psychological issues. I give an example of a simple process where this tool helped me make a very exhausting process into a pleasant one. I hope it helps you too. By the way, feel free to share your tips and tricks to avoid or prevent psychological issues. Use the comments section below ;)

Good morning everybody!

Today, I would like to share with you some thoughts on the compatibility of business process management and the job demands-resources model. It appears that some tools from process management can be applied for burnout prevention. While I plan to talk about specific tools in the next episode, in this episode we try to understand how process management works with resources and see how much these resources can be of psychological nature.

Morning!

In this episode, I share with you some of my experiences when I managed to change my perception of two very exhausting activities. I know that there are many other suggestions that you can find in the literature. Yet, I wanted to share with you the two methods that did help me.

Feel free to share your most remarkable ways of changing perception in the comments section. Or you can drop me an email with a suggestion and I'll try to share it in one of the next episodes.

Hello everybody

In this episode, I discuss the Job Demands and Resources Model. I focus on a specific aspect: many activities can be job demands and resources. It is your matter of perception that will boost your exhaustion or drive your energy.  

I hope this episode will help you understand your state better as well as help you better understand your colleagues, students, friends, or relatives.

Hello everybody!

Today I polemicise on an interesting topic: can one remain motivated and still run into the state of burnout. Spoiler alert: I believe one can. I propose a second theory that, combined with the Job Demands-Resources model (discussed in the previous episode), can explain the phenomenon when someone is highly motivated and her strain is constantly growing. Share your opinion in the comments. Have you observed such situations?

Welcome everybody

In this episode, I talk about one of the theories explaining burnout - the Job Demands and Resources Model by Schaufeile, Demerouti, Bakker, and followers. Of course, in such a short episode I only scratch the surface of the theory. If you would like to know more - leave comments and I'll plan an episode dedicated to this theory.
