How Much Busyness Is Actually Performative?

from ENDURES with Suzanne Rath · host Suzanne Rath

We live in a culture where exhaustion is often worn as proof of importance - but what if constant busyness is destroying our ability to think strategically, lead effectively, and live intentionally?In this episode I explore the hidden addiction to “performative productivity,” why reactive leadership keeps founders trapped in survival mode, and how constant motion can become a substitute for meaningful progress.Drawing on a recent Fast Company article on busyness and strategic thinking, I connect the conversation back to the ENDURES framework, sustainable performance, and the critical importance of creating space for recovery, reflection, and strategic thought.I’m running a rare public workshop for women!
