Six Early Warning Signs Your Top Talent Is Quietly Burning Out
Burnout rarely erupts suddenly. It whispers long before it roars. And with high performers, the whispers are almost silent. Unlike struggling employees, high performers don’t telegraph their distress. They continue delivering, continue meeting deadlines, continue producing high-quality work — until the moment they can’t. By the time leaders notice something is off, the emotional damage is often months in the making. The challenge isn’t that high performers don’t show signs. It’s that leaders aren’t trained to recognize them.
