ARTICLE
When Executives Burn Out
by Harry Levinson
Harvard Business Review
February 2000
Product no. 4290
This article describes additional ways companies can help employees replenish their personal energy. Suggestions include periodically
rotating managers out of potentially exhausting positions, distributing the thorniest problems to a broad range of people rather than
just to your best performers, and systematically letting people know that their contributions are important to you and the company.
Levinson also recommends using pairs or
teams of people to tackle tough problems so
individuals won’t feel isolated, training people
as quickly as possible to enable them to keep
up with fast-changing technologies, and
maintaining personal interaction between
leaders and subordinates during stressful
times.
