Recognizing the Toll of Crisis Leadership on Oneself

Leaders have been so focused on intense crisis leadership over the past two years that they may not have realized the toll it has taken on themselves. The speaker emphasizes that many leaders are emotionally exhausted, mentally depleted, and spiritually fatigued. It is highlighted that being tired is different from being depleted, emphasizing the importance of refilling one's leadership energy to avoid limitations. Strategies such as disconnecting from work-related thoughts and engaging in activities that replenish energy are suggested to help leaders lead effectively.
