You know, when you sense yourself burning out and it is literally your job to be the one who is the bulwark against that for everybody else, it maybe is extra impactful.

EQ and psychological safety is essential to understand it.

With your point that we are the one spearheading that, leading that, we also have to be very intentional.

Is it just sending someone a message in Slack or Teams? How are you doing today? Starting off a meeting with what do you need help with? Is anything triggering you? Do you need help with communicating with stakeholders? How are you with the deadlines? Do we need to identify additional resources? Do we need to step back and assess our scope? Helping others realize their own capacity and making sure that we are staying on course for accomplishing the project at hand.

It's a dance.

It's also requires you to be in tune with yourself.

And it also is helping people to embrace being vulnerable, which is rooted in being able to ask for help and also embracing the pause.

So what can you see either in yourself or in others on your team, both in terms of behaviors or changes in work product or habit that can indicate that burnout is beginning to set in?
