Have you ever felt like you were totally burnt out? Maybe you’ve noticed that feeling seeping into your team members? It’s a very natural thing to have happen, yet can be so damaging to personal and team effectiveness when it rears its head. In this episode of Leveraging Leadership, host Emily Sander sits down with Dr. Gary Simonds to discuss the concept of burnout, how we can identify it, and some strategies to fix it. Dr. Simonds boasts a decades-long career as a neurosurgeon in level 1 trauma centers where every action in a given day may be a life or death situation. That kind of stress level for him and those around him gave him a front row seat to witnessing burnout in mass, and he has since studied and written many books on the topic, making him an excellent guest to speak with about this concept. To learn more about Gary, find all of his books, and see other content he produces, check out his website. Follow Gary: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  – – – – –  Life of a Brain Surgeon (00:15)The Mental Strain of Life or Death Consequences (03:05)Dealing with Burnout (06:05)Strategies for Fixing a Burnt Out Team (11:15)Communication with So Many Constituents(26:30)Building the Confidence and Personality Needed (34:15)Science vs Spirituality (41:50)Places to Find Gary (53:10) – – – – – Emily Sander is a C-suite executive turned leadership coach.
