Scenario

When startup teams enable each other's burnout

Our startup team of four has been working 80-hour weeks for eight months and we're all burning out but nobody wants to be the first to say we need to slow down. We keep pushing each other deeper into this unsustainable pace because we're afraid of letting the others down.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group's shared commitment can become a prison when no one feels safe to acknowledge collective unsustainability.
