Summary points: 

Our relationships are important for our mental health and resilience. Strengthening them can help us reduce the effects or likelihood of burnout. Several behaviors in the 'Connectors' domain can deliver this protection and should be cultivated. They include: 

  • Affective empathy (feeling others' emotions),
  • Cognitive empathy (understanding others' thoughts),
  • Empathetic response style (behaving with consideration of others' emotions in teams), and
  • Psychological safety (feeling safe to express opinions without fear of negative consequences).

We found that psychological safety was the biggest predictor of reducing burnout. Read the full post for more details on why that might be the case.
