Burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion mixed with an uncharacteristic loss of belief and purpose. And in today's workplace, it's all too easy to suffer it.

As a manager, you might be feeling isolated and under continuous pressure: expected by leaders to achieve more with less and faced with negativity within your team as they feel the strain. Add to that a relentless and overwhelming workload of your own, and it's easy to see why you might "hit the wall."

In case this sounds familiar, we've put together a Burnout Self-Test to help you, or someone you're concerned about, to assess the risk. Take the test yourself, or share it with a colleague or friend.
