A perfectly good solution aimed at the wrong problem is still the wrong solution.Picture an employee who has been fantastic for years. Smart, dependable, great work. Lately they are quieter in meetings, they stopped volunteering for projects, and they are doing what is required and not one thing more. What would you do? Time off? Coaching? Better boundaries?In this episode, I walk you through three different Sams. All three show the exact same disengagement. All three have completely different problems underneath it. One is a micromanaging new boss. One is a dementia diagnosis at home and no sleep. One is the person everybody relies on, who gets more work instead of more money, more authority or more say. And that is the point: when we treat the behavior as the diagnosis instead of the symptom, we spend time, energy and money fixing the wrong thing. Burnout is not a personal failure. It is a signal that something is out of alignment, and new polling says it is not getting any better.In this episode, I cover:Why the same disengagement can come from three completely different mismatchesThe autonomy mismatch: when a new manager takes away the trust someone used to haveThe capacity mismatch: when life changes and the workload no longer fits the time and energy you haveThe effort-reward mismatch: when everything you put in stops being reflected in what you get backWhy a vacation, a coach or another resilience workshop will not fix a mismatch it was never aimed atWhy burnt out people almost never say more money would fix it, and what burnout does to how effort and reward feelCompounding mismatches and the web of causation I wrote for burnoutWhy removing blame does not remove responsibility, for managers, employees or organizationsThe three questions to ask before you try to fix anyone: What am I seeing and what am I assuming? What has changed? Is there something I can do to bring this person closer to a match?Why we keep solving symptoms instead of diagnoses, and what it costs usQuotes"A perfectly good solution aimed at the wrong problem is still the wrong solution." (00:51 | Cait Donovan)"Oftentimes we are using the behavior as the diagnosis instead of the symptom." (01:08 | Cait Donovan)"None of them have ever said that if they got paid more money, they would feel better." (04:26 | Cait Donovan)"Burnout rarely comes from one isolated mismatch. I've actually never seen that happen, not once in thousands of people." (04:51 | Cait Donovan)"Removing blame doesn't remove responsibility." (06:57 | Cait Donovan)"We get much further along the path when we figure out what needs to change instead of starting with who needs to be fixed."
