Experiencing burnout? Ask these three questions to help you fall back in love with your business.
What happens when we fall out of love with our business? What do you do about burnout? It's a common question that is understandably hard to answer as a president, partner or owner. And both Clay and I have helped leaders wrestle with this thorny issue in our Course for Presidents at Aileron for years.

And along the way, we can even fall out of love with our business.

Although compensation and benefits are very important, we often fail to recognize the importance of work culture as a deciding factor in attracting and retaining employees. Culture can be defined as the DNA of a company. It's what makes up a business’ character and personality.
