Burnout flows downhill.
When a team starts slipping, the first place to look is often the person running it. Teams take their cues from their manager’s tone and pace, and a stretched leader sets a stretched team.
The signs show up late: a shorter fuse, slower decisions, always online but rarely present. By the time anyone notices, it’s been building for months.
Perks don’t fix that. What does is protected recovery time, built into the week, with leaders going first so their teams feel able to follow.
Recovery isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s operational resilience: better decisions, better retention, and leaders who last.
If you run a team in Derry and want to talk about recovery sessions for your leaders, DM TEAM.
