Compassion fatigue can have a significant impact on a leader’s effectiveness and well-being, as it can hinder their ability to provide support and make sound decisions. While caring for employees is crucial, leaders should also establish and maintain healthy boundaries.
One of the most important roles for any leader is to build trust and psychological safety, and to foster an environment where team members feel safe and confident to share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or reprisal.

Burnout isn’t good for anyone, least of all a leader. Even for the most driven and committed leaders, energy and enthusiasm levels have a shelf-life and nobody wants their energy to expire.
Whether you strive for work-life balance, integration, or separation, the primary focus for any leader is to find time away and focus on yourself, your mental health and well-being.
