✨"Millennials, who became the icon for “hustle culture” in their 20s, are now aging into a new phase marked by cynicism."✨ Welcome to the club, millennials. Gen Xers have been here a while. Jokes aside, this Fortune article is a fascinating exploration of the changing face of middle management. It quotes the brilliant Jennifer Moss on how COVID has permanently changed the workforce, its expectations and its priorities. And, I fully support Jen Fisher 🦋's hope that "through their experiences and struggles, [millennials] will look to address the systemic issues in the workplace and move the mindset from extractive, transactional thinking to a human sustainability approach." If you're curious to redress the systemic issues that lead to workplace burnout, reach out to John Chan, Ph.D. or myself – and of course, delve into the Infinite Potential State of Workplace Burnout 2024 right here https://lnkd.in/gUAvU7Yi I'm curious: irrespective of your generation, how have the past few years changed you as an employee, an entrepreneur, or otherwise at work? #burnout #burnoutprevention https://lnkd.in/grh7YGqS
Everyone needs to researching these effects and rework the workplace before we lose all highly motivated potentially amazing workers. I am currently about to take a break from the hustle to refocus.
Thanks Sally! And it doesn’t get better than being quoted in the same article as the brilliant Jennifer Moss! She and wrote a recent piece diving deeper into hope as a necessary leadership strategy for the times we are in! Love the work you are doing - thank you. 🙏 😊
Yes I see it all around me, and what I worry about is that the cumulative burnout has eroded the bandwidth and will power to change engrained cultural norms and systems. It's hard to change systems whilst in a stage of life when you are a home owner raising kids and when we try and fail it usually ends with detached cynicism. My instinct is that the Gen Z need to be empowered to change what they sense is broken. The friction project, new book, is a good example of actionable insight that can empower change from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy. Worth listening to podcasts on it. Jen Fisher 🦋 would be a great conversation with the authors on your podcast.
“I’m hopeful that through their experiences and struggles, they will look to address the systemic issues in the workplace..." Jen Fisher 🦋 🙋♀️ Yes! Millennial here on a mission with the amazing Deb Looney🌿 and Loopwell team to bring greater access and focus to our well-being to address (and prevent) this type of burnout prevalent cross-generationally!

8moIt changed me in a big way, I started a business focused on leadership development and burnout prevention because the problem was too big to ignore - I myself was burnt out on and coaching individuals without solving for root cause problems felt like an uphill battle...
