Burnout among managers is spreading like an epidemic: generation Z managers are most threatened by chronic fatigue and loss of motivation

About 53% of managers claim to be affected, and there are also more and more Generation Z managers, for whom it is even more challenging to get out of the fast-paced business process. All of this undoubtedly affects the performance of the entire organization, but the summer period offers many opportunities for renewal, even if we cannot 100% break away from the life of the company. Why can an effective agenda be of great benefit even during vacation, how is it worth building a business relationship even in a foreign country and what book should we take to the beach? András Avidor, business development and networking expert, explains how we can remain good leaders and recharge our batteries at the same time during the summer months.

A great responsibility and many challenges are placed on the shoulders of managers, who nowadays have to take their place not only as professionals and leaders who organize work efficiently, but also as empathetic colleagues and mentors in a world where it is almost impossible to relax. It is no wonder that more and more people struggle with chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, and more than half of managers feel that they are already struggling with burnout.

“Furthermore, there are more and more young managers born in the 80s, 90s or even generation Z in the management chairs of companies, and generational change is also a topical issue in more and more companies. This age group – especially after the pandemic – often feels isolated in the leadership role, and according to almost 90% of them, their symptoms of burnout were also greatly contributed to by the fact that personal contact became rare due to the rise of remote work, home office and digital communication tools. meetings with their own team as well”

– says András Avidor, founder and head of BNI Hungary, which focuses on LIVING BUSINESS SUCCESS COMMUNITIES.
