    It is disappointing that hospitals don’t address burnout. Sure, they given the token lecture and a pass to a mindfulness course, but most are not addressed the heart of the problem. It gets blown over .

    I think the Mayo addresses the heart of the problem, which is the business process under which we all work.  Good leaders who operate under a “Quality Leadership” environment see much less burnout.  I wonder how many of the “good” leaders have formal training in leadership?  My bet is too few and yet somehow they figure it out.  No doubt they could all get better and then who knows the impact on burnout.  Leadership is all about providing a sustainable, empowering, fulfilling, engaging work environment.  It is not so intuitive, I didn’t figure it out until I learned it in business school.  But then again isn’t that why we learn?

    Easy to send someone to “mindfulness” training, which is only a band aid, when what is needed is good accountable leadership.
