The Hidden Cost of Leadership: Health, Burnout & Organisational Risk with Paula Conroy

The Hidden Cost of Leadership: Health, Burnout & Organisational Risk

In this thought-provoking episode of Cuppa.tv, we’re joined by Dr Paula Conroy
to explore the hidden physiological cost of leadership and why functioning is
not the same as being well.

Across workplaces everywhere, leaders are expected to sustain high performance
while navigating relentless pressure, chronic stress and poor recovery. Many
continue pushing forward because nothing has “broken”. But beneath the
surface, exhaustion, depleted energy, sleep disruption and rising health risks
are quietly impacting not only individual wellbeing, but also decision-making,
communication, culture and organisational performance.

Drawing on her unique combination of medical expertise, organisational
experience and lived experience of burnout and health crisis, Dr Paula
challenges the reactive way we think about health and leadership. Together, we
explore why leadership is not just intellectual, but deeply physiological, and
why proactive preventive health must become part of how we lead sustainably.
