Combating the ‘Microstress’ That Causes Burnout
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Rob Cross | Karen Dillon | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Have you had days that exhaust you extraordinarily without any particular reason why? Yet you feel anxious or beaten down just the same, and perhaps worse, you have no idea why. We call it “microstress”—brief, frequent moments of everyday tension that accumulate and impede us even though we don’t register them. Unlike stress triggered by a notable anxiety-producing event (a sharp conflict with a friend or colleague, a health scare), microstress is hard to spot because it is baked into our daily lives. And often it arrives through the people closest to us, making it more difficult to either admit or avoid.

Compared to non-energizers, energizers are three to four times more likely to get promoted faster and receive top performance reviews...Energizers tend to do nine things more systematically than others. I maintain a balance between what I ask for and what I contribute to the people I work with. Why energizers are the most valuable employeesCompared to non-energizers, energizers are three to four times more likely to get promoted faster and receive top performance reviews, and three times as likely to successfully manage their career transitions. But that's wrong: Neither extroversion nor charisma create energizers. When a colleague of mine did an analysis for the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the results were unexpected.
