Beyond Burnout: How to Spot It, Stop It and Stamp It Out
Burnout is costing us. There are the personal costs to health and finances, organisational costs in lost productivity and sick leave, and national costs when it comes to healthcare services and similar.
Following her own first-hand experience, as well as the countless similar scenarios she’s seen in her role as an executive coach, Suzi McAlpine has created a book about burnout to help create environments and organisational cultures that reduce its occurrence.
This couldn’t come at a more important time. The World Health Organisation has upgraded the classification of burnout to a syndrome – believing it to be a significant factor influencing people’s health and, by extension, that of our organisations and societies.
As well as actionable tools and key takeouts, each chapter/ section will include information about how to recognise the signs of burnout, and practical how-tos for leaders to reduce its presence in organisations. She also explains how to treat and address burnout when it is present.

An important message let down by repetitive writing
An important message let down by repetitive writing and padding. Read the introduction and summary, then just skim the chapters for the key takeouts. Then read any relevant chapters to your situation. If you try to read cover to cover it will become a chore and you will experience burnout in the process.

Brilliant!
As someone trying to recover from burnout (and having no idea where to start) this book was superb. Someone gets it!!
After reading, I recognize the signs in my colleagues are will be sharing this book with them too. Thank you Suzi for addressing this issue that's often silent in our workplaces.

Highly recommended. Should be compulsory reading for every manager, leader and business management course out there. I soooo want to send a copy to my ex-employer, but I doubt they'd get the hint!

Suzi McAlpine has written a fantastic tool and I thoroughly enjoyed the key messages. It was great to have a book so relevant to the NZ working/professional scene too. However, there was a lot of repetition at times and I feel the book could have been condensed into about half as much content.
