Leadership roles come with nonstop decisions and pressure that can quietly wear leaders down. At Hawaii Business Magazine's Leadership Conference last week, our Executive Director, Ryan Catalani, moderated "Burnout in Leadership: Sustaining Energy and Impact" joined by Michelle Bartell (Aloha United Way), Ken Wills (Hawaii Business Magazine), and Dr. Diane Paloma (Hawaii Dental Service). The panel explored what burnout looks like at the top, and the habits that help leaders stay resilient and effective for the long haul.
