Rejection Causes Burnout

As a middle manager (you manage a team and you have a boss and/or a board), consider the role rejection plays in your work. Most of the time, rejection is hiding in plain sight, directly impacting your daily interactions and making significant contributions to your wellbeing and productivity. You might start to feel emotionally exhausted, cynical, or ineffective. Whether you know it or not, rejection is fueling your sense of burnout.
