  Why Managers Must Watch Their Teams and Themselves to Prevent Burnout in 2026 Burnout is no longer a personal problem…it’s a leadership issue. As we move into 2026, a lot of organisations are still carrying the after-effects of constant change, high workloads, blurred boundaries, and economical uncertainty. Teams may look functional on the surface, but beneath that, exhaustion, disengagement, and quiet withdrawal are becoming increasingly common. Managers sit at the centre of this. They are often the first to notice when something is off and just as often, the last to look after themselves.
