Feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or running on empty at work? You're not alone — and it's not just personal. It's systemic.
In this powerful episode of the Evolving to Exceptional Podcast, host Jessica Tietjen unpacks the concept of “capacity collapse”—a hidden epidemic quietly draining the energy, engagement, and effectiveness of today’s workforce.
We explore why so many people feel maxed out despite their best efforts and reveal how traditional systems are designed to extract performance instead of nurturing human capacity. It's time to flip the script.
You’ll learn:
What capacity collapse really is and how to spot it
Why burnout isn’t just about workload—it’s about systemic design
How a simple "jar" analogy explains the overload we all feel
What organizations must reimagine to support true performance and well-being
How leaders can begin restoring capacity with strategic system upgrades
Whether you're a leader, HR professional, or high-performer feeling the pressure, this episode will shift how you see workplace stress—and empower you to create healthier, high-capacity teams.
