From an operational point of view, burnout often starts long before people disengage.
It starts when the workflow keeps asking for extra effort just to overcome poor structure.
When people are forced to compensate every day for bad planning, unclear roles, missing information, or avoidable pressure, exhaustion becomes part of the job.
It can be difficult to see and admit that you may be or ate the problem.

Well said.

That is not a people failure.
That is a leadership signal.
Oh yes, great leadership is fostered by regular, honest looks in the mirror. And, as you rightly point out, being open to get better ourselves.
