A recent survey indicates that 66% of workers experience burnout, largely attributed to excessive workloads, inadequate resources, and economic challenges. This article highlights the significant role of personal mentality in burnout, specifically how a 'noisy ego' can exacerbate feelings of distress. Jeffrey Hull and Margaret Moore suggest that self-focused thoughts hinder workplace effectiveness, while adopting a 'quiet ego' mindset—marked by mindfulness and emotional intelligence—can help mitigate burnout and enhance leadership capabilities.
"A noisy ego describes a person who is constantly thinking about themselves. They're asking 'Am I OK?' 'Are they insulting me?' It’s a self-referencing, self-oriented noise."
"A quiet ego is characterized by being mindful, emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and growth-oriented. This mindset may alleviate feelings of burnout and enhance leadership effectiveness."
