Teaser
Day 18 of 28, Executive burnout costs the private sector billions: September 2008. Risk management belongs in every high-stakes system.
TLDR
September 2008.
Lehman Brothers collapsed. Executives who had worked hundred-hour weeks for years made overnight decisions about bailouts. They were exhausted.
The private sector now tracks executive burnout as a risk factor. They know the cost. Government has no equivalent tracking. The cost appears in flawed policies and delayed responses.
Risk management belongs in every high-stakes system.
Context
We all run on the same human hardware. Let’s build the support and checks to match the pressure of the job.
