Liane Davey | The Real Reason Burnout Keeps Getting Worse Despite Everything Leaders Are Doing

We’ve been talking about burnout for years. But despite more awareness, more resources, and more conversations about workload, the problem isn’t going away. So what are we missing?

Organizational psychologist and bestselling author Liane Davey has an answer … and it’s one most leaders have never considered. In this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”, Liane introduces the concept of “thoughtload” - the hidden interplay of attention, emotions, and energy that determines whether we and our teams can do our best work - alongside practical strategies for how leaders can better manage it.

Drawing from her new book “Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work”, Liane walks us through both the practices leaders can use to protect their attention and focus, and what they can do as leaders to help their teams do the same.

It’s an honest and practical conversation for any leader who wants to understand what’s actually driving the anxiety, disconnection, and exhaustion they see around them … and how to do something about it.
