▶︎ #143 | The IT Burnout: 6 Categories That Are Quietly Destroying Your Team The data is already alarming: 62% of IT professionals feel physically or emotionally drained, 47% of tech leaders feel that way every single week, and only 21% can be considered genuinely healthy when it comes to burnout risk. But the bigger problem isn't the scale - it's that most leaders are treating burnout as one thing, and applying generic fixes to what is actually six very different problems. In this episode, your host, Aleksandra Lemańska, introduces the 6 Burnout Categories from the CQ Leadership Method: Stretching Too Much, Excessive Workload, High-Pressure Environment, Constant Learning Pressure, Work-Life Imbalance, and Lack of Recognition. Each one has a different set of early behavioral signals. Each one requires a different leadership response. And any single category, left unaddressed, is enough to lose someone. The episode unpacks what each category looks like before the crisis point - because by the time someone hands in their notice, you've already lost.
