S1 E8 · Practice Guide
The Burnout Proximity Audit
Free companion workbook · Burnout is Not a Leadership Pipeline
If your leadership pipeline is just the people too tired to say no, you're not developing leaders — you're managing a slow-motion exit. This guide is the companion to S1 E8 of Brave Proximity, where Marissa Green and Susan Page expose how organisations use burnout as a filter for commitment and why the people most likely to burn out are the same ones the organisation can least afford to lose.
What’s inside
The Pipeline Health Check
1
Is your leadership pipeline actually a burnout track? Three markers to identify whether your organisation is developing leaders or filtering for the people most willing to sacrifice themselves to get there.
The Silent Hero Diagnostic
2
Who in your team is running on empty while making everything look effortless? A tool for making the invisible labor visible — before it walks out the door and takes the institutional knowledge with it.
The Always-On Reality Check
3
A personal audit for leaders and high-performers. What is the real cost of your current pace — to your output, your judgment, and the people around you who absorb the overflow?
The Recovery Brief
4
Not a wellness plan. One structural change — specific, bounded, implementable this week — that reduces the burnout tax on your team without requiring an org-wide policy shift to get started.
