Strategic Joy: The Leader's Secret to Avoiding Burnout #shorts

If we as leaders can find moments to mark throughout the day or throughout a project and find a redemptive perspective on the suffering that often happens through projects and works and like, recognizing, hey, you guys, we got to put our heads down. This is hard work. But finding the redemptive piece to that and the joy in the midst of that, what we see then is joy becomes strategic as part of the leadership that's practiced and really rooted in science. It becomes the resistance against burnout and cynicism and the kind of, I would say, industrial age leadership models. It builds emotional endurance. And so if we establish who we are as a leader in our point of view, and then show up to lead others as a guide, joy is the thing that actually allows the longevity and sustainability of leadership.
