Multinewmedia encourages you to understand that you're not the only person that experiences burnout and that friendly help is availalbe, such as this episode, and that professional help is available from qualified organizational clinicians.

Chase Raz goes solo to talk about how going it alone and doing everything yourself is a really bad idea that a lot of smart people attempt. We tend to fall into the trap created by control and professionalism, but there's an easy way to get a map to show you the direction out. Look at your value add and where your contrubitions are most important. There, you'll find the answer to the questions, "What do I do myself, and what do I hand off to others? And how?"

Chris Ayers and Chase Raz have a chat about the practical future.
