When work gets tough, most individuals experience burnout and lose motivation. How can you spot when someone is burnout? Look for:

• Lateness
• Short tempers
• Disengagement

As a leader you can’t take the pressure away but you can change how your staff team copes. Here’s what you can do to help you staff team manage the pressure of their job role:

• Short check-ins, not big team meetings, just space to quietly ask, “what’s going on?” and actually listen
• Clear priorities, if everything’s urgent, nothing is. Decide what can wait and what needs immediate attention
• Time to decompress, five minutes after a hard visit isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps people going
