Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up as:
• Quiet disengagement
• Increased irritability
• Missed deadlines
• Emotional flatness
• Reduced collaboration
Seasonal changes can amplify underlying stress, especially in high-demand industries.
As leaders and colleagues, a little more patience, flexibility, and understanding can go a long way. A simple check-in — “How are you really doing?” — can open the door to meaningful support. Creating a culture of care starts with small, human moments. 💙
