Balancing Stretch And Burnout

DAY 54: 90 Days. 90 Sparks.

High-performing teams love a challenge.
They want to grow, stretch, and do meaningful work.

But here’s the trap:
Stretch too far, too fast, for too long, and it becomes strain.
What once energised now exhausts.
Motivation turns into survival.

As a leader, your job isn’t just to raise the bar.
It’s to know when to raise it, how much, and for how long.
To pair high expectations with high support.
To make rest and recovery just as normal as drive and delivery.

Sustainable growth doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from stretching smarter.

Today’s Spark:
Stretch fuels growth. Burnout kills it.
