top reasons for burnout per gallop:

>it’s not always the bulb. sometimes it’s the electrical system. to prevent burnout, we must fix the system, not just replace the person.
moral injury: perpetrating, bearing witness to, or failing to prevent acts that transgress deeply held moral beliefs and expectations. not achieving your mission and purpose while maintaining your values.
>i could no longer surrender to a system that rewarded time over expertise, procedures over cognition, trendiness over tradition. it was dehumanizing and diminished the profession i cherish.

work is how we serve one another; it’s an expression of your creativity.
we’re not tired b/c we’re working too hard; we’re tired because our work is transactional, which is dehumanizing.
