The surprising connection between goal-setting and burnout
New research shows that as long as your work is aligned with the company's strategy, you'll be less stressed and more inspired.
You may not feel motivated to reach your organization’s objectives, such as adding new services, improving products, and obtaining more clients. It's not that you mean harm; ultimately, the business' success affects you positively. However, you have goals, too, such as personal financial well-being and job security. Your manager can help you expand your role so it aligns with the organization's direction and adjust your priorities to avoid burnout.
