Episode 220: Encore Episode: Attention Leaders! Busy is a Badge of Burnout

How many times do you say, “I’m fine, I’m just really busy” when people ask you how you are?

Being busy becomes a status symbol as a leader. In fact, the more you can do, the more you’re asked to do, and the more you feel you’re bringing value to your team and your organization.
