Title: Finding Inspiration at Work: Motivation, Burnout, and Purpose

In this episode of The Executive Realm, Dr. D and Dr. K unpack what it really means to stay inspired at work, especially when the routines get repetitive or burnout starts creeping in. They explore where inspiration comes from, how to reignite it when it's fading, and why it’s essential for leaders to model it. From the "50/50 rule" of workplace motivation to the role of purpose, learning, and even the Dunning-Kruger curve, this conversation blends business psychology with real-life leadership practices. You’ll hear strategies to reconnect with your why, support others through inspiration, and use feedback, mentorship, and coaching as tools to revive energy on your team. Whether you’re a leader looking to energize your culture or an employee in need of a spark, this episode delivers actionable insights for finding meaning and motivation at work.
