The Risk No Board Is Talking About: CEO Burnout
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we examine CEO burnout not only as a personal wellbeing issue, but as an overlooked leadership and governance risk. We explore how the very traits boards prize in senior leaders – resilience, accountability, and relentless drive – can, under sustained pressure, erode decision quality, distort judgment, and quietly undermine organizational performance. This conversation reframes burnout as a systemic leadership challenge and positions mental wellness as a foundation for sustainable performance, strong culture, and effective long-term decision-making.
