About This Session

Pushing harder isn’t a strategy. It’s how you lose people.

Learn how managers can raise output while protecting energy, fairness, and trust. We’ll share how to plan capacity in minutes, use recognition as a recovery lever during crunch time, and partner with ER before performance pressure turns into burnout or attrition.
Walk away with a repeatable rhythm that lifts productivity before performance pressure turns into burnout or attrition.

This is what sustainable performance looks like when managers actually have a system.

**Key Takeaways:**

- **15-Minute Capacity Reset:** Priorities, tradeoffs, and cooldowns that managers can run weekly.
- **Recognition That Recharges:** Micro-rewards that help teams recover after high-strain cycles.
- **Escalation Without Damage:** An ER-aligned map for overtime, fairness, and accommodations.
