The Harvard Business Review discovered six key reasons behind the growing level of manager burnout. The fifth reason they discovered was a lack of fairness.
When I was in banking, I worked extremely hard one year to land millions of dollars of new accounts. At my performance review my boss informed me that he was only allowed to give me a 3% raise.
Out of frustration I complained, “I worked very hard and made this bank a lot of money! I’m only getting 3%? How is that fair, and why would I be motivated to work hard again next year?”
Colossians 4:1 says, “Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.”
Burnout can sometimes be avoided by simply treating your team fairly.
