Picture burnout as a system where you have multiple variables and details to combine:

Expectations, rules, routines, emotions and workload.

Now add Agile Transformation where all of the above are present. And see a receipt for personal disaster.

Agile Transformations play a big role in my experience, for I have seen many of them both as a professional coach and a team member in a transforming organization. Being burned out, on the edge and enduring burnout.

The session is a case with steps I have uncovered in serving teams and myself.

Target Audience: Managers, Decision Makers, Leaders, Coaches
Prerequisites: Team working experience, leadership experience

Extended Abstract:
Picture burnout as a system.
Now add Agile Transformation.
And see a receipt for personal disaster.

Change of structure, roles, policies, and, most importantly – expectations. This is where humans suffer the most, and where coaches can help the most if we are sufficiently equipped.

There is an individual burnout that occurs due to the pressure that you exert on yourself – this is very common among those who are perfectionists (CEOs or CIOs in our context).

There is also interpersonal attrition, which is caused by complicated work relationships (can you imagine working alone on your routine tasks and now being in a team with that particular person you dreaded for decades?)

And finally, there is organizational exhaustion, which is caused by poor organization and unrealistic demands made on you by others (the tremendous top-down start of transformation).

Transformation missions where coaches are hired to observe, lead, encourage others to mastery, and set up daily routines and ceremonies. Is there more?

First of all, hence you are in a coaching position, your main task is not to have a strong opinion from day one, rather download, expand your perception filter, connect emotionally and act from an open heart.

The session aims at providing the toolkit to those in transformation and those in burnout. We will use Theory U practices, personal resilience coaching, and emotional intelligence assessments. To see how these combine with leadership and agile coaching on a daily basis and very hands-on activities.
