Ep 189: Burnout - signs and symptoms with Dr. Richard Duggins

In this episode of our 'Sustainable Leadership' series, we explore the antithesis of sustainable work: professional burnout.

Richard is joined by Dr. Richard Duggins, consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist, who is known as the 'Doctor's Doctor' due to his work with physicians experiencing burnout in the NHS. His recent book 'Burnout-free working' explores the topic in detail, demystifying burnout and explaining how recovery is possible.

In this first part of a two-part interview, we establish what burnout actually is, explore the 'burnout cliff' concept, learn about the role of 'radiators' and 'drains' the key impact of organisational culture.

Huge thanks to Dr. Richard Duggins for taking the time to join us for this discussion. Part two of the interview follows in the next episode.

Thanks for listening!
