Episode Description
Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, neuroleadership coach and Forbes Coaches Council member, answers the question nobody in leadership is asking: why are the most empathetic leaders burning out fastest in the AI era? The answer is compassion fatigue. It is not weakness. It is what happens when a leader's nervous system keeps absorbing team stress without a recovery window, and AI has eliminated that window entirely. This episode explains the neuroscience, names the cost, and gives leaders a way out that does not require caring less.
