One sure way to set employees on the short track to burnout is burdening them with overly ambitious or unclear assignments. Take a step back and ask yourself the following questions: Am I assigning manageable workloads to my employees? Do my employees have all the resources and information they need to handle their duties and assignments?
If you conclude that the answers are “no,” you’ll want to rethink your current approach and adjust priorities so your team members can realistically and consistently complete good work on time without burning the candle at both ends.
