I have extended thoughts on a few nuances of burnout, resilience, and employment
Before taking time off for burnout, my skip manager reminded me to read the strongly positive 360 feedback from my reports. That's both a shallow and a deep reinforcement of resilience, first and foremost by rebuilding and grounding self-confidence. Reading positive feedback provides evidence that I'm capable and effective at my job.
Beyond self-confidence, I have other needs in a workplace, like a sense of belonging and a purpose. My skip knows why I'm a manager, and knows that I have these things in my team. My reports share constructive feedback with me, which opens up mental pathways to introspect on how I can improve, and brings warm feelings of appreciation that they feel comfortable sharing constructive feedback with me.
There's a bit more depth to this when it comes to burnout and resilience 馃У
