Summary: Burnout (lack of motivation/engagement) is a very real thing, but the reasons it happens often escape people, which is why we see the cycle repeat itself over and over again. An employee starts a job enthused, engaged and motivated, then somewhere along the line they become unproductive and show a lack of initiative. One of the main reasons this happens (which few people admit) is due to the environment created by a leader. The trick is for each leader to look in the mirror to determine the source of the breakdown. Matt Heller joins us to talk about this important topic.
