The leaders themselves. Alex opens by naming what leader burnout actually looks like, and how it's almost the inverse of what you'd expect. Where a burned-out engineer goes quiet and withdraws, a burned-out leader often becomes hyperactive: over-communicating, micromanaging, taking on more instead of less, all while privately running on fumes. The performance of being fine is one of the most energy-expensive things a leader can do. Using the Process Communication Model® (PCM®) from the CQ Leadership Method, Alex explains the concept of the distress sequence — the specific, predictable way each personality type's communication collapses under sustained stress. The over-controlling leader who finds fault with everything. The one who stops making decisions and leaves the team in a vacuum. The perfectionist who disappears into deep work and makes the team feel abandoned. The urgency-mode communicator who turns every problem into a crisis. None of these is a character flaw. They are what happens to all of us when we're depleted, and they land on the team as instability, not as tiredness. If you've been telling your team to protect their energy while quietly neglecting your own, this episode is the one you've been waiting for someone to make. ✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanska TikTok: @aleksandra_lemanska X: @lemanskills Startup Community Poznan: @startup-community-poznan-scp www.lemanskills.com Join L…","meta_description":"▶︎ #155 | The Burnout Nobody Talks About: What Happens When You, the Leader, Are Running on Empty In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcas…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":695,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/episodes/155-the-burnout-nobody-talks-about-what-happens-when-you-the-leader-are-running-on-empty/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/155-the-burnout-nobody-talks-about-what-happens-when-you-the-leader-are-running-on-empty.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
