According to Microsoft’s most recent Work Trend Index,
published in September 2022, more than half of managers (53%) report feeling
burned out at work. This statistic is striking, and it is slightly higher than
the burnout rates among employees in general. However, it is not surprising
given the circumstances. Managers have had to guide their teams through a
pandemic and its aftermath, facing challenges that required them to lead with
empathy while managing increasing demands with potentially fewer resources—all
while receiving little recognition for their efforts. This untenable situation
has left many managers struggling.
 
A survey conducted by Forbes and MyPerfectResume involving
over 1,200 U.S. workers highlights the scale and impact of burnout: 88% of
workers report experiencing burnout, and one in five considers quitting their
job on a daily basis.
 
Certified Counselor Jahmaal Marshall specializes in helping
corporate executives address burnout at its root, using proven methods to
double their time and maximize productivity.
 
For as long as I can remember, I lived to please others and
rarely resisted the demands placed on me. This led to chronic procrastination,
perfectionism, poor boundaries, and unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb the
pain. Burnout became a way of life for me. As a manager, I hesitated to
delegate tasks for fear that the results wouldn't meet my expectations. I often
operated out of a fear of rejection, which affected all my interactions. As an
employee, I second-guessed every interaction and never turned down any project.
The constant pressure from all sides became a mental prison, leading me to seek
unhealthy outlets and addictions as a means to cope with the pain I was
unwilling to confront.
 
However, I learned a lot about my triggers and behavior
patterns, and I discovered how to harness them for maximum productivity.
