Your writing helped me to reflect on the challenges of working with others when the team is dysfunctional. This is the sequel to the Drama of the Gifted Child. This is the drama of the gifted leader.

I am feeling very free to create what I want. Have you seen my newsletter: A New Kind of Old on Substack? It’s a fiction series that is getting a good response.

Thanks for posting this. High performers burn out in almost any situation unless they have self-awareness of how their perfectionism and lack of boundaries contribute to their stress.

Thanks Bonnie. You're so right.

Without self-awareness, we get sucked into habits and unhealthy patterns before we realise it. It compounds the stress.
