The ABCD Leadership Profile
Where is burnout hitting you first?
Burnout rarely arrives all at once. It works through four layers of your life, from the basics up to your sense of purpose. This profile shows you which layer is carrying the most strain.
How you feel. Your mood, your patience, your capacity for joy.
Sleep, food, movement and rest. Where burnout usually starts.
How you think. Focus, decisions, and whether your mind ever switches off.
Meaning and purpose. Whether your work still feels like yours.
Answer for the last month. Go with your first answer, not the one a good leader is supposed to give.
