Burned out?

I saw this on CNN: With modern chief executives increasingly becoming frazzled and run-down, promotions should come with a health warning. Probably two-thirds of CEOs are struggling. The best way to avoid a breakdown? Build a support network and try to maintain a healthy work-life balance. End of quote.

No question. Today’s leaders face overwhelming challenges. The boardroom or the corner office no longer guarantees a sweet life of luxury and respect.

So how does a leader who follows Jesus adjust?

With a solid, wise, Godly team that provides feedback, ideas, support and counsel.

With a balance between work, play, family and God.

With a proper pace. Unhurried, balanced and calm.

Jesus said it best: Are you tired? Come to me. Learn the unforced rhythms of Grace.

And I think having an executive coach might help too - at least at times. Marian
