In The Wall Street Journal
When the CEO Burns Out
The Wall Street Journal · by Leslie Kwoh
Reported by Leslie Kwoh, on what happens when burnout reaches the person at the top: “Job fatigue catches up to some executives amid mounting expectations.” The article sent readers to a quiz to find out whether they were at risk, and the quiz was Dr. Corá’s.
There are two versions. The full Burnout Quiz, twenty-five items with scoring and interpretation, was published in Leading Under Pressure in 2010. The Mini Burnout Quiz came later and came about by request: preparing the 2013 article, Leslie Kwoh asked for a shorter version, and Dr. Corá refined the instrument down to ten statements. That is the one the Journal sent its readers to, the one you can take online, and the one that now powers the Burnout Check-In inside the Leading Under Pressure app.
