Summary
Helping me in this episode is the remarkable Christina Maslach. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable on burnout than her.
If you don't believe me, her work is the basis for the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) decision to include burnout as an occupational phenomenon.
Christina started her psychology research career in the early 1970s, and her work led to the co-creation of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. This is a measure of professional burnout that is still being used today.
She is currently a Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, where she’s taught for nearly 50 years. She is no ordinary teacher because, in 1997, she was named USA Professor of the Year.
She is the co-author of a new book called, The Burnout Challenge: Managing People’s Relationships with Their Jobs.
Arianna Huffington stated, “The Burnout Challenge offers tips and tools to evaluate problems and implement solutions…Vital reading for today’s and tomorrow’s leaders.”
00:16 to 01:59 - Intro
11:32 to 12:26 - How we learn from each other to make better choices
24:01 to 25:15 - Looking at the job and the person and what makes us do well.
