Episode 264 Not Burnout, but Boreout

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about boreout. We have all heard of burnout, when you are overwhelmed and overworked. But what happens when you are underworked, under challenged, or just not mentally engaged? We break down what boreout can look like at work and how it often shows up in ways people do not expect. It can look like procrastination, low energy, feeling disconnected, or even feeling irritable and unmotivated. And it can be especially confusing for high performers, because on the outside things may look fine, while on the inside they feel stuck. We talk about why boreout happens, how to recognize it, and what you can do about it. From the employee perspective, we discuss how to name what is going on and advocate for challenge and growth. From the manager perspective, we talk about spotting boreout early and creating work that develops people. And from the executive perspective, we discuss how roles, structure, and priorities can unintentionally leave talented people underused. Boreout is real, and you are not lazy. You might just need the right challenge.
