Burn Bright: Resilience as Recharge

Peak performance for individuals, teams, and organizations is about ‚“resilience as recharge‚” ‚- creating regular, reasonable routines that recharge us and help us Burn Bright instead of burning out. Our complex, volatile, and fast-paced world can drain us, especially during times of crisis and change. The lack of an ‚“off switch‚” has people everywhere exhausted and approaching burnout, which was recently classified by the World Health Organization as an official syndrome linked to chronic, unmanaged stress and disengagement at work. This not only impacts individual performance and judgment, but also team effectiveness and organizational outcomes. There is an alternative. With intention and attention we can learn to avoid burnout and instead Burn Bright, bringing our best selves to all we do. Peak performers in every field know that high performance and productivity do not come from blindly pushing harder and working longer. Instead, they engage in a series of small, reinforcing behaviors to manage their energy and create conditions for peak performance.
