Burned Out
• You have to be on fire in order to
burn out
• You have to care, be “all in”, and
be engaged in order to burnout
BURNOUT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE HIGH
ENGAGEMENT BUT LOW WELL-BEING
12. What’s The Difference?
DISENGAGEMENT
I am past the point
of caring or I have never cared
at all
This is just a job
BURNOUT
I have cared so deeply, for so
long, without a break from the
stress that I have become
depleted and cynical
I have given everything
to this job
ENGAGEMENT
I am energized by and
connected to this job, so much
so that I get purpose from it
This is way more than
a job
