If you are fortunate in this economy and job market to stay put for any length of time, you will at some point experience the mixed blessing of burnout. That’s right, I said it … burnout can be a blessing if you know how to deal with it. If you have never experienced burnout then you are missing an opportunity for personal and career growth. If you don’t know your flame is beginning to flicker, then you run the risk of being ashes before you know it.
