Scenario

When startup teams maintain unsustainable pretenses about stress and burnout

Our startup team of four has been working together intensely for two years and we've developed this unspoken rule that we don't acknowledge how stressed and overwhelmed we all are. We just keep pushing through, but the pretense is becoming more exhausting than the actual work and I think it's affecting our decision-making.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group's shared commitment to an impossible standard of resilience prevents authentic support and clear thinking.
