Ben Eden, HR coach, CEO of Reach Your Ultimate Potential, and co-founder of the HR Wellbeing community, joins me to discuss how leaders can undermine their own resiliency and accelerate burnout for their teams and themselves. We start with the article, "Your Boss is the Problem and the Solution," which explores "hinderance stressors," which are ways in which certain behaviors or thoughts can prevent people from performing at their best. It turns out that creating red tape, role ambiguity, role conflict, and engaging in office politics increases employee's job neglect by over 1/3rd, which increases even more the higher the stress on the job.
We then explore all the ways in which we have seen leaders get in their own way, and what we recommend they do to change.
