Yes, leaders are susceptible to burnout as well. This is new territory for them. It’s so important to take time to check in with yourself. And be patient with yourself. Showing your vulnerability to your colleagues and employees is helpful. It creates a space where we are not setting up an expectation about “being ok” all the time. It normalizes the emotional struggles and the stress. It allows for a space of safety and vulnerability to open up. From there, we can cope, adjust and deal with it. And it may help you find some much needed support. And most importantly, ask for help if you need. Everyone is entitled to it.
