The risk no board Is talking about: CEO burnout
Podcast hosted by Nikki Mackay with guest John Ainsworth

In this episode, we examine CEO burnout not only as a personal wellbeing issue, but as an overlooked leadership and governance risk.
We explore how the very traits boards prize in senior leaders – resilience, accountability, and relentless drive – can, under sustained pressure, erode decision quality, distort judgment, and quietly undermine organizational performance. This conversation reframes burnout as a systemic leadership challenge and positions mental wellness as a foundation for sustainable performance, strong culture, and effective long-term decision-making.
