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.
