Why Your Team's Burnout Is a Signal—Not a Symptom


Listen Later

If your team is running on empty and your organization feels like it’s constantly behind, you’re not alone—and it’s not a sign that you need to work harder. In this episode, I unpack what’s really driving burnout and internal chaos: a Design Deficit. I’ll show you how to shift from operating in survival mode to building an organization that can sustainably carry your bold mission.

You’ll walk away with a clear, simple framework to strengthen your organization from the inside out—so your growth leads to more impact, not more overwhelm.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why burnout and disengagement are signs of structural issues, not personal or leadership failure
  • The 5 areas of organizational design that determine your capacity for sustainable growth
  • A mindset shift that will help you lead with more clarity, calm, and confidence

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • Burnout is your early warning system—it’s pointing to a deeper design issue, not a lack of resources.
  • Growth without intentional redesign leads to chaos, not impact.
  • You don’t need to work harder—you need to architect differently.
