Are you putting them out too soon?

Fire science has proven that putting out forest fires too quickly allows undergrowth to survive, providing fuel for future fires. The same holds true in the workplace. When you take on everyone else’s responsibilities, you are setting the stage for future fires, which will take you down the path to job burnout.

Have you been feeling cynical and sarcastic lately? Are you irritable and impatient? Are you experiencing an inability to feel joy? Do you feel unmotivated and listless? Many people suffering from burnout will selfmedicate with food, drugs and/or alcohol, have a change in sleep habits, and become plagued with unexplained headaches, neck and shoulder pain.

If you feel one or more of the above symptoms, take a look at your typical workday. Do you spend the majority of your time putting out fires that are not your responsibility?

Assess the root causes as to why your day is consumed with handling responsibilities which do not belong on your plate. As a manager, your daily activities should generate the most revenue and profit for the company.

Learn to delegate responsibilities. Give the job to the person whom you know can get it done. If there is no one who fits this description, consider hiring one of our prescreened, highly qualified temporary employees. Or better yet, “try before you buy” with a temp-to-direct hire professional. Contact TheBestIRS today!

 

Fact: Did you know that according to National Geographic, the number of major fires in the Americas has increased 230 times over the last 50 years?
