About this listen

Burnout is a signal of misalignment between a person's natural work style and the demands of their role, not an individual's lack of effort or resilience. This article argues that burnout is a signal of a mismatch between a person's natural work style and the demands of their role, rather than a personal failure. Dr. Marilyn Carroll introduces the "CultureVybe™ lens," suggesting that deep burnout often affects high-value contributors in low-fit roles. She emphasizes that organizational growth should prioritize "fit intelligence" over hierarchical advancement, and that misalignment has significant system costs. The article encourages individuals to assess whether their roles align with how they create value, thereby promoting sustainable performance and healthy systems.
