Original Research. A Proven Coaching System.
Burnout Isn't a Personal Failing. It's a Systems Failure.
Your calendar is full. Your team is working hard. And somehow, nothing moves. I call it the effort gap — and it's exactly what my research was built to diagnose. The question I ask every leader I work with: when your people put in effort, does work actually work here?
In a study of 212 professionals, 73% were working in conditions long known to produce burnout — regardless of effort. And the Senior Leader Paradox: 42% of the most acute burnout profile were presidents, CEOs, or managing partners. I'm a Psy.D. and founding faculty member of Seattle Pacific University's I/O Psychology program, where I direct the Leader as Coach Accelerator™.
That research is now a formal working paper: Collins, J.A. (2025). Burnout is a leadership problem, not a resilience problem. And Collins Alliance was nationally recognized by the Transportation Research Board, along with their state partner agency, for providing a “cutting edge” leadership development program.
