In September 2022 we surveyed 199 professionals (thank you to those that took partπ).
We discovered the following:
18% were at low risk of burnout.
66% were at moderate risk of burnout.
16% were at high risk of burnout.
Interestingly, the biggest issues each risk group faced were almost identical:
1οΈβ£ Too much work (48 mentions).
2οΈβ£ Not enough resources (43 mentions).
3οΈβ£ Hard to know what to prioritise (28 mentions).
There was only one exception. Bad leadership. This issue ranked differently in the 3 risk groups:
Low risk = 7th.
Moderate risk = 2nd.
High risk = 1st.
Even if you don't know what to prioritise, don't have enough resources, and have too much work, having a good leader can keep you firmly in the low risk group. π€―
In fact, good leadership can reduce burnout risk by up to 51%. π€
If you want to know what good leadership looks like, read our older blog posts:
