## Resource

Most leaders think their teams are burned out from workload. They're wrong. In this episode of Leadership Sandbox™, Tammy J. Bond exposes the real issue exhausting employees inside organizations: tolerated bad behavior. From gossip and passive-aggressive coworkers to emotionally inconsistent leadership and toxic high performers, Tammy breaks down why teams emotionally disengage long before they physically leave. This isn't about pizza parties, wellness programs, or another conversation about "work-life balance." This is about the leadership behaviors organizations keep allowing while wondering why morale, trust, and retention keep collapsing. If you're leading a team right now, this episode will challenge how you think about burnout, accountability, and what healthy workplace behavior actually requires. Because burnout is often the symptom. Behavioral dysfunction is the infection.
