good but repetitive

could have been half the time and learned the same. ie definition was given 20 xs

Educational & Solution Oriented

This was a good collection that provides educational research and history along with many practical recommendations for both leaders and individuals faced with burnout related impacts. Some chapters are a bit repetitive, but this supports the validity of the concepts.

This is a must, not optional

I finished this in a day and I will be sharing it with my project team and leaders. The insight in this publication is was beyond my expectations. True eye opener.

Some chapters are great

After you move past the book's introduction, which I found to be unnecessary and focused on issues of racism and social justice, there are some chapters that offer valuable insights into effective delegation and time management. While I am enjoying the book overall, I was disappointed by the introduction, which seemed to serve no purpose other than appeasing white guilt and conforming to current trends in academia. If the book specifically addressed racism in the workplace, then the preface would have been more relevant. Unfortunately, it seems to be more about fulfilling the need to publicly display one's anti-racist stance, which can sometimes perpetuate racism itself. I have even had people apologize to me for assuming I am Puerto Rican, and it is the apology itself that I find insulting (although I am not Puerto Rican).
