There are leaders who take the burden, challenges, and everything from all around leading to Burnout.
Why do they do that?
1. They derive satisfaction and purpose from uplifting others, believing it's their duty to solve problems and meet demands.
2. Childhood conditioning plays a role too; early experiences may have taught them that their worth is tied to their ability to help and be responsible. They have seen their parents, relatives, neighbors, and teachers behave in certain ways and perceive that to be the way of living, kind of role-modeling them.
3. Deep-seated fears of rejection and low self-worth further drive them to take on more than they can handle, believing that their value depends on their usefulness. Additionally, a need to maintain control over situations to prevent chaos often leads them to overextend themselves.

The consequences are clear: constant stress, physical and emotional exhaustion, and an inability to recharge. This path inevitably leads to burnout, a state Balachander is all too familiar with.
And, such behavior requires deep work with professionals such as coaches, counselors, and therapists depending on the state they are in.
How can you better manage these burdens, set healthier boundaries, and prioritize your well-being?
Let's open up the conversation and share strategies to support each other in this journey.
