Episode notes
Burnout Culture
- Burnout in industries like law isn't caused by superficial issues but systemic problems.
- These systems incentivize overwork and don't prioritize sustainable quality results.
Intrapreneurship for Change
- Build credibility through competence before suggesting systemic changes within a company.
- Start with small, successful projects that demonstrate an alternative approach aligned with quality results.
Clarifying Success
- Instead of reacting to requests, pause and ask "What does success really look like?" or "What problem are you really trying to solve?".
- This helps determine true value rather than pre-existing incentive structures.
