This conversation explores practical ways to delegate, challenge assumptions, and help teams navigate change with greater care.\n\n\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\nBurnout can grow when leaders assume they must do everything themselves or always be available.\n\nRest can be built into everyday routines through small, restorative actions.\n\nDelegation works better when people receive clear instruction, a demonstration, practice, and feedback.\n\nTeams can reach the same goal in different ways; allow room for varied approaches.\n\nNotice burnout signs early and seek support from someone you trust.\n\n\n\n“Burnout is happening because we aren't putting the proper stopgaps in place, and it's usually because of mindset.”\n\n\n\n“Acknowledge where you are, and acknowledge you're not alone, and find someone that you trust that you can talk to, because every strategy or approach to navigating it could differ, so find someone you trust.”\n\n\n\n“If I can help you create an environment where growth feels grounded, and leadership feels human, I think we've accomplished the great goal.” \n\n- Sharri McIntyre\n\n \n\nSharri McIntyre is the Founder and Principal of The McIntyre Collective, where she serves as an executive coach, leadership consultant, and strategic advisor to high-growth founders, executives, and organizations.
