High performers drive results—but burnout destroys potential. Learn how leaders support performance sustainably.
About this Event

High performers are often the backbone of successful organizations.

They produce results.
Solve problems.
Take on more responsibility.

But many organizations unintentionally overload their best people.

Over time, performance turns into burnout.

This Executive Briefing explores how leaders support high performers without exhausting them.



Executive Reality Check

Many leaders unintentionally put their highest performers at risk by relying on them too heavily.

Common signs include:

• The same top people being asked to carry the heaviest load
• High performers being rewarded with more work instead of more support
• Strong employees taking on responsibilities that should be shared across the team
• Leaders assuming high performers are “fine” because they continue to deliver
• Burnout showing up as withdrawal, frustration, declining energy, or unexpected turnover

When leaders fail to manage high performers strategically, organizations often lose the very talent they depend on most.



What Participants Will Walk Away With

• Leadership strategies for sustaining high performance
• Early warning signs of burnout
• Tools for balancing performance expectations and support
• Techniques for retaining top talent
