The Burnout Factor Is Real

Leaders tend to keep going and going “round the clock” — all the while keeping a close eye on how their team is feeling day to day. But it’s a mistake to neglect your own self-care. According to experts, you need to “fill the tank” regularly to keep your energy up and your mind sharp. That means getting enough rest, taking mental breaks from complex concerns, and maintaining the ability to step away from time to time. The burnout factor is real across the entire OR team — and the leaders are no exception.

A great leader practices self-care for the greater good.
