Review
"A fascinating insight into the whole area of burnout, in particular the insight into an individual's predisposition. The tendency has always been to blame the working environment or the individual concerned, assuming that they actually cannot 'hack' the job, so this book offers a refreshing dimension. The title encapsulates in the word 'learning' the key message of the book that burnout should not be seen as negative/taboo but an opportunity for both the organization and the individual to 'harness the powerful learning of the experience'.

Product Description
Burnout is a taboo subject. Admitting you are burning out in your job is tantamount to career suicide for some employees; for their organizations it is like raising a white flag in the war for talent. But suppose that preventing burnout is the worst thing you can do. Suppose for some people, particularly high fliers, it represents a call to deep and urgent learning about themselves and how they relate to the world. Suppose that we need instead to learn to manage burnout and harness the powerful learning potential of the experience, and in so doing build careers aligned with individual meaning and purpose, sustainable in the long term. What would organizations and their people need to do to achieve this?

Burnout - a shared resonsibility,
By
This review is from: Learning from Burnout: Developing sustainable leaders and avoiding career derailment (Paperback)
Burnout is wasteful and destructive. This superb book helps readers to understand the complex relationship between organisational culture and individual behaviour that may result in the brightest and best failing to fulfil their potential. What is new and unexpected about this book is that (possibly for the first time) light is shed on an individual's propensity to become 'hooked' into their own burnout. I would recommend that this book be given to everyone selected for a 'high potential' programme...and their managers. Leaders need to be able to recognise the symptoms of burnout in others, and to be able to receive support and help from others when they start to develop the symptoms themselves. An excellent book; gentle, thoughtful and truly helpful.
