Episode 100: Breaking the Burnout Cycle: Amy Leneker on Leading with Less Stress and More Joy
Sue Bethanis hosts Amy Leneker, a leadership consultant with over 25 years of leadership experience including a decade in the C-suite, who has helped over 100,000 leaders and teams through keynotes, coaching, and training. A first-generation college student, Amy earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees while working full-time and raising a family. She has studied leadership at Yale, neuroscience at the NeuroLeadership Institute, and stress resilience at Harvard Medical School. Amy's upcoming book, Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy (Wiley, March 24, 2026), shares a science-backed roadmap to break free from burnout. Amy shares findings from her team's recent national study on stress and joy at work, explaining that while four of the five stress types have remained consistent since the 1970s, system stress (inequality, bullying, and unfair workplace cultures) has emerged as a significant modern stressor. She discusses how AI is creating both risks and opportunities for workplace joy, particularly through its impact on momentum and efficiency. The conversation addresses practical approaches for leaders managing their own stress while supporting anxious teams navigating AI adoption, technological disruption, and rapid organizational change.
