Why Detachment Can be a Burnout Warning Sign

Twelve questions to ask yourself as a starting point

Someone suffering from burnout is likely to show a combination of three signs that I like to call ‘the red flags of burnout.' To look out for yourself as well as the people you lead, it’s important to keep an eye out for them – chronic exhaustion, cynicism or depersonalization and a reduced sense of accomplishment or professional efficacy.

Knowing these early signs helps reduce the chance of burnout going undetected and helps to spot out burnout before it causes harm – to the person and the organisation.  

I’ve already covered the first red flag in another blog, which you can read here. Today, I’m looking a little closer at the second red flag in this exclusive excerpt from by book, Beyond Burnout.
