Change Fatigue: 3 Leadership Strategies To Help Exhausted Teams

Let’s be honest – having to manage change and uncertainty is going be a key part of leadership for many years to come.

But while most leaders have developed the skills and tools to effectively lead change management, there’s a bigger issue that we’ve recognized, but are not addressing: your teams are mentally exhausted.

It’s easy to assume the problem is longer hours or bigger workloads, but the real source of this exhaustion is the fact that for the past several years, your employees have been in a perpetual state of adjusting, adapting, and pivoting in response to wave after wave of unprecedented disruptions that few could have anticipated.

And this seemingly endless storm that’s obscuring the horizon has tapped out your employees’ mental reserves – the source of their creativity energy, problem-solving capacities, and resilience – even if it’s not showing up in your quarterly reports.

So in this edition of my “Leadership Espresso Shot” series, I reveal three powerful leadership strategies that will help you turn fatigue into resilience, uncertainty into clarity, and setbacks into momentum.
