Check out this amazing article by Katya Krotkov, CFA Ambassador for the Stanford Center on Longevity and an experienced Management Consultant, on the hot topic of burnout. Here are a few takeaways, but make sure to deep dive into Katya’s post for the full insights: 🌠“The most common mistake is thinking that major risk comes from long hours. In fact, there are many other risks to mental health at work…For highly motivated individuals in intellectually demanding jobs, how they work can be even more critical than how much they work.” 🎇“…individuals who are neurotic, competitive, impulsive, and impatient or have difficulty expressing their emotions are more likely to experience burnout.” 🎆Effective strategies for burnout prevention: - Developing internal locus of control - Taking practical steps to tackle the stressor directly. P.S. I really enjoyed the Katya’s top-notch writing style - clear, concise, and straight to the point. A great read🤩
As an Ambassador for the Stanford Center on Longevity, I am dedicated to raising awareness about essential topics that prepare us for a 100-year life. While mental health is undeniably one of the most pressing issues in today’s world, I want to spotlight a more specific concern: burnout. Burnout is not recognized as a medical condition by the ICD-11, but it is nevertheless an alarming issue for today’s young adults. #StanfordCenteronLongevity #NewMapofLife Ekaterina (Katya) Pechenikhina David Pagano Celine Abecassis-Moedas Ann Kabinga Anna Savdur Neeraj Sagar Larry A.
