Are you sprinting towards burnout?

Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint.

There’s a reason that saying has stood the test of time.

Because the further you go in leadership, the more you realize:
- You can’t power through on adrenaline alone.
- The pace you set matters.
- Recovery is part of progress.
- Training—real preparation and reflection—is non-negotiable.

The leaders who go the distance are the ones who:
- Know when to push and when to pause
- Build mental endurance for hard decisions
- Invest in their team’s development, not just their own
- Stay grounded in their purpose, even when the road gets tough

So today, here's your gentle reminder:

Check your pace.

Are you sprinting toward burnout?

Or are you running in a way that you can sustain—for yourself and your team?

Unlike in a marathon, the finish line isn’t the goal.

Becoming a better leader along the way is.
