When the people doing the work are struggling to move forward, your business slows with them.
Burnout isn't a wellness problem. It's a change-readiness execution problem.
When your people are running on empty, decisions slow, handoffs break, and momentum stalls. As the demand for AI adoption and change grows, so does burnout. Cognitive overload is the hidden constraint on 2026 execution — and it's in every leadership conversation right now.
Mike Grubich, CEO of LAK Group and ELE Strategic Partner, put it plainly:"Burnout, chronic stress and cognitive overload hit exactly what the business depends on -- safety, focus, productivity, and retention."LAK Group is hearing this from people leaders across their client companies. ELE is hearing it across the network. On June 19, we stop diagnosing it and start moving. Bring your version of this important work issue. We'll ideate together:
- Where is overload creating execution drag on your team right now?
- What's the one capacity constraint slowing decisions and momentum?
- What's the practical move that restores focus -- without adding more process?
You'll hear how other leaders are navigating this right now. We dig into root cause, not HR programs. You leave with something worth trying.
We'll use ELE's Action Planning Worksheet to pressure-test what you bring.Your challenge could be next on the calendar. 👉 Vote to Shape the Calendar
