How did you feel after reading those (maybe all-too familiar) anecdotes of what experiencing an alert storm can feel like? Is your heartbeat elevated? Palms sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy? It might have triggered your body’s fight or flight response — and that’s what leads to burnout.

As the stress continues, you can start to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Maybe at that point you choose to leave.
