This is a phrase I’ve heard from 5 customers recently. I understand that and sometimes agree that it is too early. I also understand that looking at leadership in a whole new way – not as a set of techniques, but as a consequence of the inner world of the person – can seem daunting.
This is a quote I heard one of the participants quote in turn. I was left thinking that it is a very true description of the mental heaviness that is rife in organisations. Mental exhaustion does not just come from workload. Indeed, it often arises primarily because people are not creating. Doesn’t create something that
