Most people think burnout is about being overworked. But for many high-performing employees, the real culprit is misalignment. When work lacks meaning, challenge, or a clear connection to purpose, even light workloads can feel heavy. In this episode, we unpack the deeper causes of burnout — and reveal why better leadership, clear communication, and the smart use of AI can create a more energized, fulfilled, and high-performing team.

• Burnout isn’t just about doing too much — it’s about doing work that lacks meaning, challenge, or connection.

• Leadership failures — unclear expectations, poor role alignment, lack of feedback — are often the root cause.

• Millennials and Gen Z crave growth, purpose, and being part of something bigger. Without that, they disengage fast.

• Psychological safety, progress, and vision clarity are essential for a motivated, resilient team.

• AI can drastically reduce burnout by eliminating repetitive tasks and enabling people to focus on their zone of genius.

• Great leaders create cultures where people are energized, not exhausted — by providing clarity, care, and challenge.
