Helping our people avoid burnout with Leah Weiss
I think some of what we need to acknowledge is the impact of loneliness. In his book, former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy uses the research to frame this by saying it’s the equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes a day on the health of the isolated person.
In the Hot Seat: Leah Weiss on why burnout has become so prevalent and how to prevent it
Andy’s guest is Leah Weiss, Ph.D. who created a perennially waitlisted course called “Leading with Mindfulness and Compassion” at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she is on the faculty for Stanford Business School’s lead program. In 2019, Leah Weiss co-founded Skylyte, a company that specializes in data-driven, scalable solutions to team health.
Dr. Weiss’s first book, How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Embrace the Daily Grind focuses on compassion and resilient leadership through research-backed techniques. Her work guides the mental health and well-being strategies of over 85 organizations, including the Mayo Clinic and Stanford Children’s Hospital.
