The Responsiveness Trap: When Being 'Available' Makes You Unavailable for What Matters (Burnout Part 2)

You respond to emails within minutes, you're always reachable, your team knows they can count on you. Being there for your team matters, right? So why does it still feel like you're falling behind on everything that actually matters?

For the next few episodes, I will be talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a perspective I personally don’t hear enough of: the psychosocial drivers of burnout – what we as individuals bring to it, how social conditioning perpetuates it, and how organizational culture impacts it – and what we can do about it. 

In this episode we're talking about the responsiveness trap - how being constantly available makes you unavailable for real leadership. This is Part 2 of my Bonus 4-part Burnout series.
