Course Overview

Data on burnout prevention is abundant; insight about it is not. Policy on this part of people management and development is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this aspect of people management and development to standardise and which to leave flexible. The most reliable predictor of sound burnout prevention is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It treats the practice within people management and development as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The programme suits teams tackling this part of people management and development together as readily as individuals attending alone. The version of burnout prevention described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the people management and development capability is examined, not just described. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the people management and development discipline rather than a set of notes.
