Burnout Resilience Is a Competitive Business Advantage
with Julien Godbarge
Your strongest leaders may be burning out while the business continues to look successful.
The targets are being hit. The deals are closing. The calendar is full. Everybody assumes the leader is fine because they are still producing results.
Unfortunately, “still functioning” and “doing well” are not always the same thing.
In this episode of Experience Leadership: The Small Business Podcast, Marc speaks with former private equity-backed CEO Julien Godbarge, author of Crash and [Burn] LEARN and creator of the Ten Blind Spots That Lead to Burnout.
In this episode, you will discover:
Why executive burnout often looks like high performance
The hidden warning signs leaders commonly dismiss
How performance-based self-worth makes rest feel dangerous
Why perfectionism and over-responsibility can create leadership risk
How isolation affects executive judgment and relationships
What happens when professional boundaries disappear
Why leaders swing between imposter syndrome and overconfidence
How burnout affects deals, teams, retention, culture, and customers
Why awareness without action changes nothing
How burnout resilience can become a competitive business advantage
