About this listen

Healthcare burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a leadership crisis. In this episode, we break down the research behind burnout, why traditional wellness solutions don’t work, and how humble, self-aware leadership becomes the true antidote.

This episode reframes burnout through a new lens: humble, self-reflective leadership as the catalyst for organizational healing. We walk through how humility keeps teams out of survival mode, why it improves cognitive performance and empathy, and how it directly affects patient safety, turnover costs, and long-term organizational outcomes.

Learn how systemic pressures, workload design, emotional labor, and unsafe cultures create burnout — and discover the practical steps leaders can take to rebuild trust, safety, and performance.
