Top 5 Episodes of 2021

Lessons for Leaders

I’m sharing a recap of the top 5 episodes for 2021. These are the podcast episodes that have had the highest listens throughout the year and I though it useful to recap them for you. People are often asking me which I should listen to first, so this will be a helpful way to dive in to the most popular ones and get you started, or enable you to recap any that you missed.

Even if you heard them before, it’s often useful to get a reminder of key messages …. It’s so easy to forget these things.

The most listened to are:

LFL21 Preventing Leadership Fatigue and Burn Out

Although this was published back in June, it’s still relevant now and I expect it will be right through 2022. I’ve been hearing of lots of people experiencing burn out, extreme fatigue and people struggling. So this is going to be so helpful.

Burnout characterised by “emotional exhaustion” and usually attributed to the professional role you have, therefore, maintaining work life balance is vital to prevent burnout.

The difficulty though is that often fatigue and burn out happen because leader DO love their jobs, or feel a sense of responsibility or struggle to delegate – in fact there can be a host of differing factors. Because everyone is different.
