Although the subject of burnout has been widely discussed over the last few years, this is a helpful guide to recognising the different symptoms that may be experienced by either yourself or other individuals.

'Melody Wilding is an executive coach, human behavior professor, and author of Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge.  She explains,

You may even be dealing with a mix of one or two of these types at the same time. Determining where you’re at makes it easier to find targeted solutions to solve the specific challenges ahead of you."'
